Description
The Martz Custom P38 Luger Artillery Barrel is where history meets artistry—a bold reimagining of one of the world’s most iconic pistols. Crafted by the legendary John Martz, this 9mm custom piece blends the mechanical soul of the wartime P38 with the refined precision of a modern gunsmith’s vision.
The standout feature, of course, is the artillery-style long barrel—a dramatic extension that instantly changes both form and function. It doesn’t just add reach; it adds character. The longer sight radius brings enhanced accuracy and control, transforming the already capable P38 into a precision instrument for the range or the display case. Visually, it’s striking—elegant yet imposing—turning a familiar silhouette into something altogether unique.
Martz’s hallmark craftsmanship is present in every line and surface. The seamless barrel integration, the toggle-lock action, and the hand-fitted machining all reflect the meticulous care that defined his work. The balance is perfect, the finish exceptional, and the operation smooth as silk—traits that distinguish a true custom from a mere modification.
While it maintains the ergonomic grip and sleek frame of the original P38, Martz’s custom enhancements elevate it into the realm of functional art. It’s not just a firearm—it’s a conversation between engineering precision and creative vision.
For collectors and enthusiasts alike, this Martz Custom P38 Luger with Artillery Barrel stands as both a tribute and an evolution—a homage to the history that inspired it, and a testament to the gunsmith who dared to make it better.
