Took The P-38 Plunge...

[AGE]

When I turned 21 (long long ago) I bought my first handgun, a P-38. Real cheap, I think $30 (I was a poor student). It was kind of neat but pretty crude (wartime I guess). It functioned fine but the windage was very poor. Some slave laborer must have set it up to shoot 12" to the left at 50 ft. Maybe the German owner lost a fight because of this. I couldn't drift the front sight over enough to correct the sighting error. I had to remove the rear sight and alter the notch in the underside for the firing pin. Traded it for a 1911 .45 when I got a real job after college. The P-38 doesn't compare to the Luger in neeaaaatness.
