P38 AC 43

A friend acquired this weapon about two years ago but his wife was always troubled by its possible history and he wanted to give it a good home.

It is a nice P.38 Code "ac 43" 3rd Variation, 9493m in very good condition and it shoots well indeed.
All numbers match but it only has one mag.





With an m letter I'd say it was built later in 43 but it still is well finished and the grips are dark instead of red.

It shot a little low at 45 feet but I was shooting S&B 115. Next time I'll try a few GECO 124 and see what they do.

In all I'm pleased to bring this one into the family

Here is the target image:

I thought I'd post two more images of this pistol which may show a little more detail.

These show the color of the grips and tone of the bluing more closely.

The front sight blade is marked with a 4 indicating a height of 6.4 mm or so I believe. Please correct me if I'm wrong.



Notice the way the acceptance stamps are not in a neat orderly line...

Thanks U.E.

Any idea if I am correct about the marking on the blade of the front sight?

It was pointed out to me that the acceptance stamps are out of sequence besides being out of line...

The more I look at this piece the more interesting it becomes.
