luger vs p-38?

Heinz · 08-31-2001, 09:22 PM

Although I do not currently own either I have owned both a 7.65 Luger and a P38. My Luger was a far more accurate and reliable piece than my P38. The Luger was an unmatched number 3 7/8 Bbl. The P38 was WWII production nazi marked and very poor shooter over 50 feet. Also prone to jam. I also had a nazi marked Browning HiPower with tangent sights that I could not hit a doorway with at 50 feet. WWII production can be erratic I think. You can not kill what you cannot hit. For serious work I like the 45 long colt but the 45 ACP will also suffice.
