GERMAN PISTOLS ACCURACY...

Same results with me, but the factor is a true militarily developed gun versus a commercial one. A military weapon must be reliable under all conditions, mass produceable, reasonably affordable, accurate for combat use, and idiot proof. The P38 meets all these stipulations, the luger only one. The P38 is a true combat pistol, developed for that purpose and extensively used.
Combat with a pistol is a very imprecise activity.
Conditions stink, light is bad, heart is pounding, helmet is banging on your head, BP is way up there, the bad guys are way too close, and six inch groups are fine in a 20"X 3' moving target with the desire and capacity to hurt you.
