				Back to the old P-38.
			 
			
			
			I rotate my CCW Iron and it is now back to the "1945" dated P-38 and the right ammo therein.  I have other P-38s, but this late war gun has long been my favorite for several reasons. 
		
		
		
		
		
		
			I suppose not many folks carry a P-38 CCW, but I sure do and like it. The P-38 was way ahead of its time when it "hit the street." I like the P-38 and mine will be CCW until I rotate Iron after Easter. Adam

			I don't do CC but I agree with you about the P-38 being a heck of weapon.  I love mine - a Walther early war version - which my father-in-law liberated during the war and I inherited on his passing.

			Hello Adam; 
		
		
		
		
		
		
			Just out of curiosity, what type of leather to you use to carry your P-38 concealed?

			I handload for mine and have shot virtually every type of bullet throught it - hollow points included - with nary a problem.  My particular gun seems to group best with 125 gr. hard-cast lead round nose bullets.

			My P-38s like Winchester 115 grain Silvertips best followed by 147 grain WW Deep Penetrator subsonics. Adam

			The P-38 I used to have would digest every type of hollow point without a hiccup.....save one:  I bought some 100 grain S&W Hollow points at a gun show and they would occasionally jam, as would any handload that I seated the bullet in too deeply......seems like correct overall length is more important than bullet type, at least in my gun.

			Before I sold my WWII P-38, I used home-cast Lee 125 round-nose bullets with Red-Dot powder.  It was 100% reliable.
