The mid-20th century produced a number of defensive sidearms that remain respected for their engineering and practical features. Experienced shooters and collectors value pistols that combine durable construction with useful safety elements for everyday handling and range use.

MAUSER P.38 is a historically significant semi-automatic pistol that brings a factory-style safety decocker to the table, making it an attractive option for shooters who prioritize safe handling in double-action/single-action platforms. This particular offering shows a Nazi Waffenamt stamping on the right side of the slide and carries serial number 4928P. Three 8-round magazines are included, and the pistol is listed as a Certified Used Firearm—meaning it’s inspected to a very good to excellent condition standard and covered by a ‘no questions asked’ return policy.

Design and functional overview

The Mauser P.38 is notable for its robust locking system and the integrated decocker/safety. The decocker allows the shooter to safely lower the hammer from a cocked position without dry-firing the pistol or manually manipulating the hammer, reducing the chance of an accidental discharge during holster work or clearance. The presence of the Waffenamt mark and serial 4928P adds historical provenance for collectors while the inclusion of three 8-round magazines improves immediate range readiness.

Certified Used advantage

Choosing a Certified Used Firearm can deliver excellent value: this pistol is offered at $949.99 and carries the Certified Used stamp, assuring buyers that the gun has been inspected and is in very good to excellent condition. The return policy provides additional buyer confidence should the purchase not meet expectations.
