Both the front and rear sights were set to the left out of the box. However according the video from the next post in the guns manufactured in 1958 it would have the P38 marking but was the same as a P1. They decided themselves that they needed to adjust the sights since I had just bought the gun new from them. Take a good look at the frame and if it is aluminum then you have a P1 frame. I had two different instructors at the LGS shoot the gun and confirm the far left POI. The P38 pictured here is one such contract gun.Ĭheck out Walther P38/P1: 8 Decades of Excellence on The Mag Life.Full membership to the IDM is for researchers who are fully committed to conducting their research in the IDM, preferably accommodated in the IDM complex, for 5-year terms, which are renewable. The LGS wasn't told the gun was hitting to the left. The demand for the P38 was so high, in fact, that the Walther plants couldn’t keep up, prompting contracts for the guns to be let to both Mauser and Spreewerk. Thanks to insatiable demands on German industrial capacity, plenty of existing Lugers saw service as well. The P38 was the standard-issue sidearm of the Wehrmacht throughout World War II. I dont mind the old school mag break when I consider it keeps 70 metal magazine from hitting a concrete range floor. One unique thing about the P5 is that the ejection port is on the left side.

Six years and several prototypes later, the result was the soon-to-be iconic-in-its-own right P38, a design that was literally years ahead of its time. The Walther P5‘s design is based on the earlier P1 and even earlier P38. The first is the UniClip, designed to go over the belt, but which also works well without a belt. Walther had seen some success with its PP line of duty pistols, and decided to kick it up a notch and develop a full-size sidearm for the army. Carl Waltherįortunately, the Carl Walther company had been experimenting with a new pistol designed as a service weapon for the police and military. Another 600,000-plus P1s were manufactured by Walther in their new Ulm factory and sold to other countries as well as the Bundeswehr (which used the P1 until the mid-’90’s). Clearly, the time had come for the Luger to be replaced. The Walther P1, adopted in 1957, differed from the older P38 primarily by having an aluminum frame and strengthened slide. On top of that, the tolerances on the Luger were so tight that even small quantities of dirt or mud would cause them to jam, which isn’t exactly ideal when one’s life might depend on the functionality of one’s sidearm. On the extreme left, 'P38' is stamped into the metal. To review, open the file in an editor that reveals hidden Unicode characters. It would be a poor choice for concealed carry. I would use it for open carry in my P.38 police holster when society breaks down and commies are running wild. 6 of 9 Examining the Post-War P.1 Walthers The pivoting safety lever is located on the left slide of the slide within easy reach of the firer’s thumb. There's some guy on YouTube begging people not to shoot their P.38/P-1 because the safety is prone to breaking, and when that happens everyone gets Coronavirus or some such shit. When Adolf Hitler began the massive rearmament of Germany in 1935, equipping the new Wehrmacht with Lugers was cost-prohibitive to say the least. With the pistol pointing to your left, look at the main metal assembly holding the barrel, with the trigger directly underneath.

Lugers were the standard-issue sidearm for the German military from their adoption in 1909 until 1938. No doubt the Luger is a finely engineered piece of firearms technology. Even the standard 9x19mm round that most of us use (at least some of the time) is commonly called “9mm Luger.” The Luger is a sexy little beast that’s achieved iconic status with shooters and collectors the world over. We have been having a steady flow of '9mm leading and hitting sideways' sort of threads, so I thought it might be useful to report what I just did to check out my 'new' Walther P1 (P38 w/aluminum frame) 9mm handgun before shooting boolits in it. When most people think of World War II German pistols (assuming they think about such things at all) the first thing that usually pops up is the famous P08 Luger, and with good reason.
