Preference: P-38 or 9mm Luger?

[Riposte1]

Times and situations change. My dad had a P-38 after the war and into the early 50's (I can barely remember seeing it but never shot it).

When I was about 4 he traded it for a 1911a1, which I did shoot (with his help) when I was 5...scared me to death (no ear plugs and the brass went down the neck of my shirt!!!!).

That he traded off for an electric pipe soldering rig when I was probably 10 or so.

I wish I had both of those guns!
