I have owned many of both of these but if I had to choose , I’ll take the P08 any day. The Walther ,I believe ,was the first pistol manufacture to develop the double single action and I do like that feature for carry. But man the Luger fits the hand and points perfectly and the balance is beyond compare. The P08 barrel is attached directly screwed into the top breech which gives it superior accuracy over those with barrels that are held in place by a removable detachable mechanism... so the barrel can move slightly after each shot, however both of these are accurate.. Nice video, thx.

I could never really find a reason why Walther decided to make the P38 left eject. I know the P5 was made that way to make it easier to clear malfunctions but the P5 has an enclosed slide and is more of a refinement of the P38. Short answer: No idea.
@beacoop2 My great Gpa got both a Luger and a p38 in his time fighting the Nazis in WW2 (he was a paratrooper in the 82nd, later 101st airborne) and he gave them to his son who would be my grandpa. Yesterday my grandpa let took me to a firing range and we shot three WW2 guns: Walther PP, The Luger his dad got in WW2, and the p38 another gun he got in his time in Europe. I gotta say, like my grandpa told me, the Luger guy s VERY unreliable. The Walther PP my grandpa has wasn’t used at all that n WW2, but I just thought I should mention that. I really enjoyed shooting the Walther PP, it had low recoil and not a whole lot of kick. Then came the two WW2 era guns that were never refurbished. I really liked shooting the p-38, which was a lot like the Walther PP, but recoiled a bit more. I had been looking forward to shooting the Luger ever since my grandpa said he’d shoot it with me because of the fame of Lugers, but the movies made that pistol look like the best thing in the world of firearms. That thing jammed SUPER easily and we only fired three rounds before we had to put it away because of how jammed it got. Not to mention that the toggle is really hard to pull back, at least for me. But I would recommend getting a P-38 instead of a Luger for a WW2 era gun. One last thing: I genuinely feel sorry for any GI fighting in WW2 who died trying to get a gun that isn’t as good as it’s said to be, and for anyone who paid a fortune for a pistol that jams after each shot AND when they expected to have a whole lot of fun as I thought I would. And before you start typing your reply saying “oh then go tell your grandpa to go get the thing refurbished...” Here’s the thing, when you get it refurbished it’ll take away a large portion of the historical value. If you decide to ignore me [someone] who has the experience of having this happen to, I tried to warn you

Some of the early P38s had black grips similar to the P1 and Spreewerk made black grips with horizontal ribbing like the brown ones. Early P1s were also marked P38 on the slide, mine is one of those. I'm just using my P1 as a stand-in for a P38 because they're functionally identical.
