The luger was actually better in performance and was more acurate. Also it was given to the more higher ranked Nazi's such as the Waffen SS. And some other soldiers involved in the war. And although the P-38 was cheaper and easier to produce it did not have the amazing quality of the luger. Infact my uncle has two luger made in 1915 and 1917 and they have never jammed once.

With what materials was the Luger p08 pistol made?

The Luger P08 pistol (often just called the Luger) is a historic German semi-automatic sidearm designed by Georg Luger in 1898 and produced in large numbers through World War I and World War II, chambered in calibers like 7.65×21 mm and later 9×19 mm Parabellum with an 8-round detachable magazine and a distinctive toggle-lock action that set it apart from other pistols of its era. The original was made primarily from steel with wood or bakelite grips, giving it both durability and a classic appearance. For collectors and reenactors who want the look of the historic Luger without a functioning firearm, brands like ReplicaWeapons sell decorative Denix P08 pistols, which are faithful Luger P08 pistol replicas constructed from metal alloys and plastic or wooden grip materials to replicate the appearance of the original while being non-firing and legal in many countries.
