  Modern Firearms - Walther P38, P1 and P4 pistol
The Walther P38 pistol was developed as a military pistol for the German army (Wehrmacht) during the late 1930s.
While P38 pistols were in some aspects revolutionary in design and concept, their post-war P1 versions were less than popular in the Bundeswehr, deserving the unofficial description of 'eight warning shots plus one aimed throw'.
P38 pistols were also fitted with a loaded chamber indicator in the form of a small pin that projected from the rear of the slide, above the hammer, when a cartridge was loaded in the chamber.

 ArniesAirsoft: Maruzen P38 review
Introduction: The P38 (1938) was used by the German military during the second World War as a successor/alternative to the existing Luger 08 (1908).
The P38 is still in use by the German military under the name of the P1 although it is slowly (nothing moves fast in the German military) being phased out and replaced by the HandK P8.
I wanted the P38 as it is going to come in handy for the WW2 game at Dragon Valley and because the German military holster for the P38 is fully enclosed.

More recently, in 1988, Walther introduced their superb P88 9mm pistol, which has proved far too expensive to catch on, except for the connoisseur of fine things.
During the development of the P99, Walther is reported to have solicited much input from German as well as other foreign military and police units for guidelines for an ideal 9mm pistol.
As it is, the Walther P99 is a superb pistol, and my observations are personal, and of a desire to see the gun brought to its full potential, not only across the sea, but here where a huge market exists for state-of-the-art defensive handguns.

The Walther P38 is without a doubt one of the best known guns in the world, and when it was introduced in the German army in 1940, it was one of the most advanced guns of its age.
Not only was it the first combat pistol in a major caliber that had a double action trigger, it even featured a combined safety/decocking lever on its slide.
Although the P38 is not currently a duty gun for major organizations, some undercover agents like to carry one as their primary gun: it has reasonable payload and power, is reliable and accurate, and does not have recognizable links to the inventory of any law-enforcement agencies.
