Jerry,
You are undoubtably correct on the fact that the Poles came up with a very good holster for a gun to be carried by cavalry in the field. It will keep the gun and magazines very well protected and fairly easy to draw. Sometimes, utility (the main concern) and good looks can conflict.
I was not trying to demean the holster design. If I was ever to carry a gun into combat I would certainly want it in a holster that will keep it clean and ready for use when my life depends on it.
It is just that the Luger and P-38 holsters do the same thing and look much more elegant (in my opinion).
