Game two of our double header today brings us the Walther P. 38 which replaced the P08 mid-war as the German sidearm. They definitely came to the table with a strong design, literally and figuratively.

I must admit that this is my favorite pistol from this era. The book I show here is a must have for anyone interested in understanding the progression of this pistol through the years and of the different variations that could be recorded and researched....it's got to be the most comprehensive book on a single model of firearm I have ever seen.

A back to back video with the P08 seemed appropriate as they are VERY close relatives.

Enjoy.
