"My favorite airsoft pistol.
Very reliable have not had any issues with gas leakage or feeding.
Is a little light in the hand but feels solid. The tolerances on the gun are tight so it doesn't shake or feel loose when handling.
Has no marking besides the safety and fire indicator which I have colored in to give it a more realistic look.
Is very efficient with the gas, often I am able to get at least three magazines out of one fill of green gas.

"Update on the gun. I was able to get 56 rounds out of 1 mag. It may drop down to 3 or 2 when it gets winter time.

"This is one of the best Airsoft guns I have ever had. It has great gas power, and storage for gas. I was able to get 25 rounds out of 1 mag. This looks just like the actual Walther P38 from WWII. (Just got it today btw)

"Amazing. I have had this gun for a few months. There are almost no problems with it. The paint on the slide release can rub off a little and the orange tip looks horrible but the orange tip can be removed fairly easily. it is fairly accurate and has pretty good gas efficiency. It has a nice crisp blowback. It is very similar to the real Walther P38 also, so if you are looking for a replica then this is the gun you should buy.
Pros:
1. Crisp blowback
2. Fully Metal
3. Amazing looking replica and almost looks exactly like the real gun.
4. Fairly gas efficient.
5. Very accurate.
6. Very smooth and nice trigger pull
Cons:
1. Orange tip (can be removed fairly easily)
2. Paint can rub off if you aren't careful.
3. You don't have it yet.

"5/5 Stars
Pros -
The gun has a good feel and weight.
No parts are loose or rattle around.
Magazine fits perfectly and holds
Good performance with accuracy and FPS
Cons -
Orange-tip was a bit hard to remove.
The gun is great and it is of good quality. The only thing that was concerning was the cheep orange-tip it came with which was hard to take off and required boiling water, a vice grip, and some other sharper tools to remove. The magazines for this are a bit pricy and so is the gun, but for what you get, it is worth it.

"Just received mine and pleasantly surprised. WE has picked it up a notch with the P-38. Fit and finish are quite good. Very little rattle when shaken.
It probably has the best double action trigger I've had on a airsoft pistol ever (yes folks, even better than any of my Tokyo Marui or KJW's and they are pretty good). Very smooth through out the pull. Single action is also superb. With most double action pistols, after you take your first shot and the pistol goes to single action mode, there is no stop in the trigger travel before the let off for your next shot. Not so with the WE-P38! There is an actual stop of the trigger travel just before it fires and the let off is very crisp.
Have not had the pistol long enough to get any serious shooting in, but from what I've heard in the forums, this pistol shoots very well. The sight picture is very quick and easy to use.
Another aspect of this pistol, that is very real steel like, is the fact that when you insert a magazine, you must draw the slide back and let it go forward in order for it to actually fire (gee, just like a real pistol huh). The hammer drop safety also operates a bit different. It can only be activated when the hammer is fully cocked. The lever is depressed and the hammer moves forward and the trigger remains back. You then flip the lever up and the pistol is ready to fire. Do not attempt to activate the safety when then the hammer is fully forward. It wont work and forcing it could like damage the action.
The pistol is a lot more slim than I remembered from handling actual P-38 and P-1 pistols many years ago. It is a nice surprise and the pistol feels right at home in the hand and points naturally.
You'll have to get use to the European style magazine release, but that is part of the fun and obviously the gas and bb capacity is limited (this aint no Hi-capa, G series, SIG or M9 for sure).
The WE P-38 is a worthy addition to your airsoft armory. There are several different loadouts (WWII as well as some 70's military) that will do well with this pistol as your sidearm.
I give it top marks all around.

"Amazing pistol!
This is by far the most realistic P-38 replica I have ever seen. The construction is absolutely amazing! Way to go WE-tech! Years ago I had the impression of WE being a low end gun, but their recent year's release are really an impress statement.
If you are skeptical about the price tag, let me begin by saying this gun is probably one of the most realistic Airsoft pistol I have ever seen. The finish is not your ordinary paint, but a gun blue type of finish.
I am more of a collector, and a recreational war gamer as well so I will talk about the performance a bit as well:
This gun shoots fairly accurate with great range. The kick is awesome. It is not your modern M&P or the all-over-the-place 1911 / M9, but when it comes to Airsoft the performance is on par and better!

"Amazing looking weapon, it has a nice heft to it and the finish is clean and shiny. The only downside so far is that due to the design it's easy to accidentally bump the mag catch out of position, but it's an easy (if slightly irritating) fix. The action is smooth and as a bonus the manual has a complete breakdown for the DIY fixers out here.

"Great pistol looks awesome, very reliable. Only complaint is the materials used. Wish it was made out of some heaver duty metal slide sounds kind of weak when charging etc.

Pros- its really heavy and feels amazing in the hands
-the shine on it is really bright and well shiney
-the hammer is easy to cock back and the slide is a powerfull beast
-mag is small and easy to get into the gun
cons-
-my box is very damaged and looked like it got tossed around a store
-my mag leaked heavily when i gassed it up, but was easily fixed....not a good start
the kick back is pretty nice, overall a good gun to have if you like dub dub 2 guns
