I've got a Walther P38K which is the factory shortened P38. A friend of mine in the Grenzschutzgruppe 9 der Bundespolizei (GSG 9) gave it to me when I was finishing up my first tour in Germany. I've carried it for the past ten years as my carry piece and the finish has held up well on the aluminum frame. The only slight wear has been on the edges of the steel slide. I carry it in a suede lined holster so I think that has helped.
