Several years ago my brother gave me a P-38 AC 41. A beautiful firearm, but there were some issues with the trigger. I recently took it to a gunsmith for a look over. Turns out that it just needed a thorough cleaning and spring adjustment. He said it was a pleasure to work on such a fine weapon, and noted the tolerances and attention to detail the Germans took on a wartime mass produced firearm.

I love P-38's; I have a small harem of them, and this pistol is my go-to-war gun. Note: the extractor on the top of the Luger also acted as a loaded-chamber indicator. Thanks for a great video. Be safe, be strong. --Old Guy

What an excellent video and comprehensive analysis. My father left me two P38's and I'm going to watch this video and see if the two guns are matching and such that you pointed out. Thank you!

Great video. Thanks for posting. I have a 1944 Walther (ac) P38 with all matching numbers. Still shoots very well (I only use 115 grain ball ammo in her). Very light trigger pull in single action mode. And pretty accurate as well. Love this pistol. I also like the fact that it ejects to the left, versus how most, if not all, modern semi auto pistols eject to the right. Nice to get some history on the various manufacturers and history of the development of it, too. Cheers!

I have 2 P-38s in my collection. A Walther manufactured in 1941 and a Spreewerk manufactured in 1945. Both have all matching numbers. As one might figure, the difference in quality finish is very evident. The Walther immaculate and the Spreewerk obvious faint machine marks and other slight imperfections from manufacture. Both function flawlessly and accuracy is very similar.

Very good video! I have owned a P1 for a few years now. A very excellent 6/64 model. Like new. Finally able to obtain a byf 43 with reddish brown grips, all matching #'s and no import stamps in beautiful condition. I wish I had seen this video before the purchase, as I had my choice between a Walther manufactured one, or this one. They were both in beautiful condition, but I was drawn to the grip colour, as the ac model had black grips, which was the same as my P1. He may still eventually sell the other, but I also have my eye on another piece from his collection. A Browning High Power, Nazi marked, in also, very beautiful condition. I almost had the hard shell holster for $80.00, but then he changed his mind and decided to keep it for his other P38. This was very informative, and having all three manufacturer's models on the table, plus a Luger was great to see. Thank You Marksman TV!

Thanks for the comment! If you can talk him out of the AC P38 and the Hi-Power and the price is right - do it! They are only going up in value and they are such classic firearms. The P38 is my favorite WW2 sidearm - very interesting firearms. Congrats on snagging the Mauser P38, you will enjoy it :)
@gunnerjames1056
@gunnerjames1056 7 лет назад
The gentleman I bought the P38 from had about 10 rifles laid out in his living room up for sale. My Son-In Law and I asked how much he wanted, and paid what he wanted. The P38 was $350.00. I can tell you that among the firearms we brought home, were a 1945 Ljungman AG42B, 1954 M1 Garand, an SVT 38, a M1941 Johnson, and others. Chinese Mauser, M95 Steyr, and finally a M91/30. We hope he will part with his M40 Lahti as well. The fellow had collected over 400 firearms over many years, and was not so interested anymore in the military side. His new interest is in long range shooting. He says it will involve $10.000 worth of rifle, scope, etc. etc. I can say that the price we paid so far, is about what you would pay for "ONE' nice 1941 Johnson or "ONE" SVT 38. Thanks for getting back to me. I just started watching your video on M1 V.S. Enfield, etc. Looking forward to more. Thanks again!

I put white fingernail polish on my front sight half way up, and when sighted even up to the top of the white nail polish the firearm is on target.

Hello and thanks for watching! If it is in 90-95% condition or better, all matching and with no import marks and holster is in excellent condition, I would estimate around $1000 - $1200. Thanks again!

Great video! Just a side note, the Remington Rand 1911A1 wasn't considered a cheaper made pistol. Quite to the contrary, they were widely considered one of the better manufacturers when it came to quality. The only problem with it is that it didn't have the name recognition that Colt has so long benefited from. Again, a very informative video! I'm now better educated on the P38.

The P08 Luger is the most beautiful pistol ever made. The P38 is certainly the better pistol and is also quite beautiful. I would love to both. Maybe one day when my finances are a little better. Shame the gun shop I dealt with closed their doors. Wasn't expecting that and they had several of each.

Pull slide back to lock. Make sure the mag is out of the gun. Turn the takedown lever on the left side of the frame down and around until it stops (should be at about the 7 or 8 o'clock position. Then release the slide, gently ease it forward. Once the slide and the frame are alined, drop the hammer. Then the slide should come off the frame. If you have problems, please let me know where in this procedure. G'luck!

@michaelschutten5293
@michaelschutten5293 6 лет назад
Isn't there anyone who know why the best version was Mauser, Walther and then Spreework? I can tell you why, in the beginning it was Mauser. A well known weaponproducer. Later in the war followed by Walther. Spreework was an 3rd party, while the German adults were fighting on the fronts in Europe and Poland/Eastern front, the production was established by civilians from The Netherlands. A kind of a labour camp, forced to work in the Spreework factory in Spandau, where they produced ammunition, Flak missiles, the P38 and V2 rockets. Therefor the quality was poor, there weren't good crafsmanship/metalworkers, no good metals and time. Recently we found out that my granddad was laboured into Germany during the war. From 1942-1945 in bad conditions, they need to produce as many if they could to win the war.

The P-38 has always been my favorite pistol...not because of nazi shit but because (for all the reasons stated in this video, I won't go over them again) it was ahead of it's time. I own a Spreewerk P-38 that was taken off a young German officer who surrendered during the Battle of Berlin. You can literally see the machine marks on the barrel. I've never fired it...I view it as more of a historical artifact than a pistol you take to the range. I have a P-1 for that =D
