I have a P-1 (Civilian updated) version of this fine pistol. I plan to get a P-38 to add to my collection. I really like shooting the P-1. Are the P-38's a steel frame or alloy frame?
@ldgrey1963 The P-38 has a steel frame; the alloy frame was a post-war change to minimize cost. I've heard of people taking the slide off of their P-1 and putting it onto a steel frame. Walther eventually had to add a reinforcing pin to the alloy frame, because it didn't stand up to stress as well as the originals.
the transformer, send me
in the movie the main antagonist used a full auto converted walther p38

Unique little guy that rarely jams, and has a great grip.
I can only imagine what people thought of that gun 70 years ago.
I'm still surprised that they never released a Walther P-5 built on a Polymer Frame, with a double stack magazine.
Since with grip panels, The P38 and P5 are around the same thickness as a glock 17.
Thanks for the vids.
