Sauer 38H

Sauer 38H - .32 ACP

The Sauer 38H was a semi-automatic pocket pistol manufactured in Germany from 1938 to 1945 by J. P. Sauer & Sohn, the German half of what became SIG-Sauer. Although the "H" in "38H" stood for "hammerless," it is not striker fired, it merely has a shrouded hammer. It was the first pistol to feature a decocker, which was necessary due to the shrouded hammer.
