Walther P.38: Germany's 9 mm Semiautomatic Pistol in World War II (Classic Guns of the World, 8)

More depth and details on a great pistol

This is a convenient way to have a pistol for a very small price in comparison to the prices asked for the real gun. It functions for a long time on one CO2 cartridge. If you want to remove the slide you should put a bag over the gun while you do it. The little spring and tip will fly out. It's easy to reassemble. I love playing with it unloaded of course.

I gave it just three stars not because it is a bad book not worth the read, but it is a basic straight to the point historical book which gives the reader a general understanding on the designed P-38 (9mm) handgun. I would use this as a secondary resource if you are searching for material on collecting or owning P-38 handguns. The book does discuss the development of the P-38, various makes, models, production numbers, and modifications. But it does not goes as far as providing key specific pieces which a collector may need in verifying a weapon for purchase or insurance assessment. This book is a good for basic weapon history, knowledge, and implementation in the during WW2. As I stated it is not a "bad" book or poorly written. This book is one of several books within a series discussing various WW2 era small arms from both Axis and Allied nations. Good to have for the library and also for someone starting to gain interest in historical military type firearms.

While not the essential book on the P-38, great book for the novice, or someone new to the fold, who wants to know the history/development/markings of the pistol. Found some discrepancies in a couple of pictures, but overall satisfied with the purchase.

Uma obra completa e concisa, informações, fotos e detalhes incríveis, com arte gráfica de primeira. Recomendo muito!
