Walther P-38 Pistol, 9mm, 4 7/8″ Barrel

The Walther P38 chambered in 9mm with a 4-7/8" barrel is a classic, double-action/single-action (DA/SA) military sidearm. First adopted by the German Wehrmacht in 1938, it replaced the Luger P08 as the standard service pistol due to its cheaper manufacturing costs and superior safety features. The P38 is legendary for introducing the combination of a DA/SA trigger and a slide-mounted decocking lever to military handguns, a mechanical blueprint that heavily influenced modern service pistols.
