Luger holster question

[Johnny Peppers]

Guys,

Thanks for the input, but I guess I need to clarify. I'm looking at alternate holsters that could be seen being worn by a German soldier, 1939-1945. The holster is something to go with a Sr. NCO's field gear. I just was thinking of something different, given soldiers penchants for modifying their kit and the fact the Germans re-issued captured items from occupied countries.

I wouldn't use a 9mm for a carry pistol anyway. Personal preference: compact .45 with hollow points!

Thanks again,
Bill

The German soldier was much too disciplined to start modifying their equipment on a whim. The holster was issued to protect the pistol, and getting off a fast draw was not a consideration. Sounds like you need a P.38 if you want to use it's holster.
The Germans even went so far as to stamp the holsters with the pistol it was made for. A Luger holster won't be much more expensive than a P.38 holster, and it is correct.
