That said, the only 9mm I own is a WWII souvenir P38 acquired by my late father-in-law in Italy from a German acquaintance ("no longer in need of it..."). It shoots well enough, but I swear those goddamn little pills bounce off of coyotes (I've tried). Fun little plinkers, but nothing to get serious with.
Then you should try a Sig P210-6.

I have a Walther P38 HP..."Heeres Pistol" I really don't like shooting it as it is not very accurate, but it was never meant to be so...P38's were the first DA 9mm made. for the uninformed the P38 HP is one of the toughest to find, in that they were the commercial version of the P38 with high polish bluing. Which were mostly made before to the beginning of the war...the Germans did continue with the HP to the end of the war though.
