I seem to have a soft Spot for Revolvers.
Although it wasent 'official' in WW2, I like the MkIV Webley.
Though any Revolver will do.

work on your spelling Mark !

the P-38 was actually a sharper hand gun than the p-08 for accuracy. nothing could compete with the killing power of the Colt 45 except the Browning high power 11mm through Belgian then off to German service, they both have the extreme stopping power at close range plus a good kick to boot.

They all make good clubs. Not much use for them otherwise.

I still favor my good ol Mauser Model 96 pistol 7.63mm German . Second would be the Colt 1911A1.

I like the browning hi-power. Also i like the smaller german ones such as the PPK. The broomhandle is pretty cool as well.
