As Compared Beween The Two Which IS More

Well, I think there is no difference between the two - the P38 is a newer design, and if my life depended on it, I'd choose the 1911a1 - uh, I mean the P38

I would rather start with a 1911A1 with one in the chamber and safety off.

Yes,
But- there is less to go wrong with a luger; at least I've never had the top cover fly off a luger. Maybe because it doesn't have one!

Parts in a P38 are fiddly, fragile, and too many of them:, JMHO.
