Any of you guys collectors and would know a good source to find out about WW II era pistols and their value? I have a Luger and P-38 from WW II that my Dad has handed down to me, and am wondering value so I can make sure they are covered by our homeowners policy in case of theft. They are authentic and had been used to shoot at my Dad right before they were taken from the POS Nazi. Also curious, would it be wise to have a gunsmith look at them if I was thinking about taking them to a range to shoot?

Contact this place, they would know better than anyone.

C'mon guys, no need to politicize what is a discussion about various legal products. Best to start a thread in the P&R forum if you want to get into the efficacy of handgun laws, morality, NRA, etc. etc. and leave this one alone in Chit Chat where it belongs. Thanks.

Dare I recommend martial arts for when you just can't get the gun out in time or it jams?

People think that gun vs martial arts is not good but if it's all you've got it's all you've got. It's surprising how much you can get done the moment a guy with a gun blinks.. you have a half second before he can see again, long enough to push a gun aside.... then you can slap his ear or side of the neck then break the arm holding the gun.. and take the gun away and shoot the son of a bitch.. it's not that complicated... and you get a free gun to boot..

I have had an AMT 380 Backup for many years. A fine reliable gun. Cuts two surgically precise slices through your thumb and forefinger webbing if you want it to, haha!
 
A .38 or 380 is a terrible choice for primary or BUG.

There is no need for a caliber that small when you can have smaller handguns in larger calibers now.
 
Agreed. My primary is a seven shot 357 wheelgun. My rule is never be more than 20 feet from a gun. The AMT is the one I keep in the drawer of my trading computer desk. The nightstand has a pre-limit 17 round 9mm S&W. And I keep a snubby 357 in the car. The wife has two 357's, her favorite that I can't get her to part with is an old blued service revolver her dad gave her. But I make her keep the stainless Ruger 101 in her night stand. All those and others I haven't mentioned are just to temporize until I get the really BIG stuff out of the closet. But by then backup would have arrived from my gun nut neighbors, who scare the shit out of ME.
 
I forgot to recommend the NAA 5-shot 22 mag mini-revolver. Tumbles so bad a few feet down range that it's guaranteed to transfer all its momentum on impact, haha!

Obviously, you are vastly underarmed old chum.
