The holsters they came with were pretty much worn out. I dont shoot the one I kept a whole lot, but it doesnt seem to have any problem gobbling up the fairly warm reloads I use in my Glocks, which is what I shoot out of it. The upgraded, larger sights actually make them easier to shoot with. Both of the post war guns were good shooters, accurate, and had decent DA triggers. It was a good shooter and never had any issues while I had it. I had a WWII vintage P38 (BYF42 "Mauser") a number of years ago, and traded it off on something I just had to have at the moment, and its one I regret letting go. I ended up getting rid of the earlier gun, but kept the one with the cross bolt for a shooter. Easily touched up with a black paint pen. Both frames where in good shape, but were somewhat dinged up and bare aluminium was showing through where they were. Both had a nice dark parkerizing on the slides and looked to have been redone. The later gun has the larger replaceable front sight. The earlier gun without the cross bolt came with a P38 marked slide and sights. Both came with holsters and were around $270. I got two of them from Gander Mountain back when they first started coming in. What would be a fair price on a good used one? Looking on GB - like many handguns - they seem to be priced all over the place. I'm thinking the P1 would be a fun plinker - just have no experience with them. I'm using a 120 gr TC slug over 3.5 gr of BE in my reloads which seems to feed and function perfectly in the SR9. I currently have a Ruger SR9 so have experience with that and several other 9mm. some paper punching and cans out to 25 yards.Īnybody shoot one of these? Any things to watch out for when buying one? Your thoughts on accuracy, etc.? I'd be using cast lead rounds. This won't be a "carry" or "SD" - just strictly a range plinker.
I'm reloading 9mm now and I'm thinking about possibly getting a Walther P1 if I can run across one at a decent price. Now that I'm an old fart - that interest has seemed to rekindle although I probably would never spring for a true P38 due to the prices on them. When I was a kid, I was always intrigued with the P38 for some reason.
