Went for Nagant (could have gone for Mauser).
It's the feel, like with the Mauser (or Han Solo's gun) you'd feel safe having one of them on your hip.

I'm more into a cowboy style, nice quick draw, good feel, looks awesome.

This may be out of place, however, Sasu 1995,

"im the true Tsar!! bow down to Comunism!! >:D"

That didn't make the least bit of sense.

The Luger might not be the most reliable weapon but it still is a very beautiful gun. Luckily the thread is about your favorite and not the best.  ;D

IMO, the M1911 is the best pistol ever made. It used the 45ACP, which made it even better than the 9mm or the 357 magnum handguns. It could carry 7 rounds, more the enough to kill Nazis. And finally, you could put a suppressor on the gun.
No one can stop the German panzer divisions.

The M1911  simply would have blown someones head of if he was hit. But the Luger is still the sexiest one, it has even kinda cult status, what is the reason why i voted for it.

I'd pick TT for it's penetration ability (it can actually pierce through bullet proof vests at 50 meter distance, if you are able to to hit it from that far), but it has problems with the clip falling out (well, it had  such at the time of the war, and if you managed to get your hands on a dug out TT you would soon discover it), really inconvenient safety lock, low stopping power (small bullet, high velocity)...
So I picked nagant: reliable, precise, convenient, and six bullets is more than you will ever need when it'll come down to pistols.

As a side note, I was trying to get my parents to buy me a P-38 for Christmas but it seemed too difficult to get.

So now I think I need to settle for some ugly comtemporary piece of crap, probably a Springfield X.D. I like the style and charm of old guns, today's stuff look like copies of each other. Not variety! :(

After the September campaign Germans used it as Pistole 35(p).
