Alx, An admirable job and if it suits your tastes so much the better. I keep about 50 wooden inserts here and occasionally place one in a clients holster as a courtesy if the pocket is squishy. While I am working a holster on my bench I almost always slip one in to keep from flexing the mag pouch un necessarily.

Mag pouches vary so much you often see problems with the way it was originally made show up in split seams or out of shape notches, bent over tops etc. I have seen many a holster that would not take an original magazine. Tool pouches can be the same way.

In the shop I probably see at least a half dozen Luger holsters a week. In putting wooden inserts in and out some fit, some don't and some fit better than others. The end pulls RARELY fit either front or back..they fit one way and you turn the mag around and it doesn't fit. They can be especially weird on double mag pouches.

I think Dwight's idea is a good one..Depending of course on how much each copy on a 3-D printer is!
