Luger holster question

[badjuju_4]

One of those loaded questions. Any suggestion appreciated as long as it agrees with yours. Why not just post the information initially that you intend to use a P.38 holster for a Luger; is there anything wrong with this? That would eliminated the suggestions that did not agree with yours.
The part about the Luger holster impeding a fast draw served only to confuse the issue.

You're definitely trying to start something with comments like this. I wasn't going to buy any non-Luger holster unless someone said a Luger would fit. The P-38 and Browning HP's were a couple of the period holsters that I thought might work, considering the size of their frames. If someone said they wouldn't, then I wasn't going to buy one. Why bother asking this question if I intended to buy a P-38 holster all along? If someone had said that the standard hardshell P-08 holster was the only one the pistol would fit in, then that would be the only one I'd buy.

There are a few more things I'd like to say, but I'll keep this civil. This is my last post on this subject. If you feel the need to continue, please PM me.

This is not an opinion, but a fact. The P.08 with a stock lug is 1/4" longer than a P.38, and in a soft shell holster the P.38 fits snugly as it should. Put a P.08 in a P.38 soft shell holster and you have to stretch it slightly.

Johnny Peppers,

Thank you. That's the type of information I was looking for and why I asked the original question. It let's me know if there are options.

From what I've now learned the P-38 will fit, albeit tightly. I am going to get two holsters. A repro P-38 to tinker with (a lot less money) and an original Luger to go with the pistol.

Regards,
Bill
