Adopted by the German army (Wehrmacht) in 1938 and designated the \"Pistole 38,\" it became a standard issue sidearm for German troops during World War II. The P38 is known for its double-action design and locking-block mechanism, which contributed to its reliability and was a more cost-effective alternative to the Luger.
