Tencubed......can I get an opinion on this P 38
I found one in a pawn shop in mint condition with the holster and a few other goodies for a very good price..........</end quote></div>
The P-38's I have fired were easy to handle and seemed to be reliable. There were a number of variations over the years and I'm not all that familiar with them as I quit trusting autoloaders a number of years ago. For target shooting, plinking and such it should be a fine handgun. The 9MM it's chambered for is one of the most popular in the world and ammo is readily available nearly everywhere.
That being said I would never again trust an auto as a personal defense weapon. In my case it was not a failure of the pistol but rather a round failed to fire. It still took two hands and time to clear and was not a fun time. Since then I have carried a wheel gun and will continue to do so. With the revolver if a cartridge fails to fire you just pull the trigger again to advance to the next round.
Take a look here http://www.chuckhawks.com/index2.guns.htm for a bunch of information you should know prior to purchasing any handgun.
Edit: Scroll down the left side of the page to the handgun area.
