GERMAN PISTOLS ACCURACY...

After a brief discussion 2-3 weeks ago on the LUGER forum about P-38/P-08 accuracy, I took a couple of pistols to the range....Included were:

P-38 HP Commercial ( June 1943 production) Mint bore
P-38 BYF 43 ( May 43 production ) Good bore

P-08 S/42 ( March 1936 production ) Mint bore
P-08 BYF 42 ( August 1942 production ) Good bore

Preliminary testing at 25 yds showed the P-08's to be more accurate and HORRIBLE groups from the P-38's. So I took the MINT BORE Commercial HP against the GOOD BORE P-08.....

SADLY the BEST ACCURACY FROM THE P-38 WAS 4-5 inches

The LUGER ACCURACY WERE SUB 2 inches....

25 yards shooting, table with sandbags
