Preference: P-38 or 9mm Luger?

[Adam Helmer]

Montana Cowboy,

All my uncles were in WWII. A few brought back lots of stuff that I first saw as a kid. I did get a chance to talk to a few of them before they passed on.

I prefer the P-38 for shooting and have one that is my constant companion afield. Yes, it is large for only an 8-shot 9mm pistol, but it was the first DA military handgun fielded and if 8 rounds is not enough, I have a spare magazine or two on my person.

One of my Lugers was made in 1940 and I often comtemplate where it has been before it became mine.
