P.08 as a conc./carry weapon ?

I have to agree with Thor. I carry a Walther P1. Same thing as the P38 but, the P1 has a lighter alloy frame. Also there are many used "Like New" P1's on the market right now, these guns have been comming into the USA from Germany. I saw one last week at the local gun shop that looked brand new and was priced at 300$. The feel is simular to the luger, but the reliability and safety is much better,

As for the Luger as a carry gun. I would not carry mine with a round in the pipe. My gun has a light trigger and the only saftey is the safety lever. All it would take is to bump the safety switch and snag the trigger and disaster would befall me. So in a nut shell, I question the Lugers reliability a little and its concealed carry safety a lot. And if your thinking of carrying it with the pipe empty, statistics show that you dont have time to load it before the other guy puts three rounds in you.

Just my 2 cents.
