OK, how do you figure that I didn't want opinions? In my original post I asked if a Luger would fit in another type of holster. A number of people here and on other forums gave me their opinions and experiences. I did found out that yes, it will fit a softshell P-38 holster, though that holster is not designed for it.
I never once mentioned modifying the Luger's holster, only that the Germans did use and modify equipment for other than it's intended reasons. You mentioned that they were well disciplined and wouldn't, so I only cited a few examples of where they did. Again, I wasn't talking about an individual soldier, but common practices.
Again, I appreciate everyone who took the time to give me their opinions and advice, my question was answered. But, why does it seem that you are trying to instigate something?
