	MILITARY FIREARMS -- WALTHER P38 9MM PISTOL
		Luger and Walther P-38 pistols are often confused with one another, as both were developed and manufactured to be used by the German army during WW I and WW II.
		Walther had already been working on such pistols, in particular the Armee Pistole (or AP) and the Heeres Pistole (or HP) that were quite similar to the forthcoming P38.
		The P38 is a recoil-operated, locked breech design with a verticlally tilting blocking bar that connects the 4.9 inch moving barrel and the slide.

	OutdoorsBest Forums: Fair value and opinions on p38 pistol
		The pistols compare pretty well with the modern pistols, and were actually the first of the modern 9mm.
		Considering pistols must be kept with trigger locks on and in a locked case or safe, and ammunition in a separate locked container, the only viable home defense use (legally at least) would be to whack the intruder over the head with the locking cases.
		As you note, many of the aluminum framed pistols are marked as P-38, and I guess it's hard to argue with the maker's rollmark, but nonetheless, I fall into that group of enthusiasts that refers to the original steel framed P-38 as a P-38 and anything else as a P-1.

	Handguns: The P.08 German Luger
		It is the pistol that introduced the 9mm Parabellum cartridge, a cartridge that became one of the most popular handgun rounds ever made.
		The toggle action is a locking mechanism that moves to the rear for short distance with the barrel and then pivots upwards once chamber pressures have reached a safe level to unlock the action, cock the firing mechanism and eject the spent cartridge case.
		Around the same time a number of similar pistol were made for commercial sales in the U.S. Due to the complaints of the striking power of the 7.65mm, Luger developed a new cartridge for the Luger in 1902 called the 9x19mm which became universally known as the 9mm Parabellum.

		This is very accurate, but takes ages to load when empty because the pistol frame has to be broken and the dead shells ejected.

		In fact, modern pistol like Beretta M92F has a shadow from P-38 in many angles.
		Open slide, on-slide safety, double-action trigger, external linkage from trigger to hammer and chamber loaded indicator, these are all shared features in P-38 and M92F.
		However, this pistol has excellent performance in action, thanks to its open chamber design, you can empty a fully magazine of rounds without jam (some adjustment on magazine is needed).

		The "00" series cvq P38 pistols were assembled very late in the war (some argue after the Germans left the cvq facility).
		Posted - 12/19/2003 : 6:48:38 PM Don't know if it has any bearing on your "U" markings but there are Czech CZ27 pistols with a "U1234" (U followed by a number) These are thought to be training pistols "U" being Übung (Training).
