Someone said a P-38 is like lightning, it never strikes the same spot twice.

But I'd probably take the P-38.

Thumbs up

I think there is more recoil on the p-38 that the Luger.If you
like less recoil I would go with the Luger you can get it back on target faster.
Thanks George

If I choose my Artillery, can I use my snail drum ?

Sure, and I can't wait to see your concealed carry rig!

The W+F P06/29 shown at the bottom of the photo is the most accurate gun I have, and totally reliable. The one shown on top remains unfired. I have no problem with carrying a 1906 pattern Luger with a round in the chamber.



As Bill Jordan put it, “Speed is fine but accuracy is final.” So I would take the W+F P06/29 over the P38, being that the latter is neither accurate nor reliable. But for all-purpose social work, I prefer the SIG P210 and the Manurhin MR73 to any other handgun.

Wild Bill Hickok made a living on being accurate not being the fastest.
