range rover p38 manual
Ruger never made a model called the P38.
value is based on condition. the P38 is not considered a luger. it merely fires the same 9mm shell. go to: GUNSAMERICA.COM look up the P38 and check prices
although a P38 fires the same ammo as a Luger (9mm) it is not a Luger. It is a double action pistol that replaced the luger before wars end.......value of P38 can be checked by going to 'gunsamerica.com' and scroll or seek P38...................
The name "P38" is a slang term, and not an official name. The original P38 was the German 9mm Pistol (P) made in 1938 (38). The name was borrowed for the C-Ration opener. Still have mine on my dogtags!

9mm luger.
Yes.
It would reduce it. The only way a P38 would have a chrome lined barrel would be as a result of aftermarket work, or by swapping in a postwar P1 barrel, which would reduce its value for having mismatched parts.
The P38 was manufactured during wartime, when simpler, less expensive ways of manufacturing things were sought out. Chrome lining - especially on a pistol barrel - would've been highly unlikely on a P38. If you have such a pistol, what you probably have is a postwar P1 pistol (aluminum slide, rather than steel), or else a P38 with a postwar P1 barrel swapped in.
