Sarco Artillery Holster Rigs?
Has anyone ever purchased or seen the Artillery Luger holster rigs that Sarco (www.sarcoinc.com) sells? Any concept on the quality of these reproductions compared to CMR?

John, looks pretty good !!!
I have not seen one, but the price is right compared to the original rigs. I don't know how their quality compares to the CMR Holsters, but I know the CMR Stuff is excellent. You might make a price comparison and then decide. I think CMR posted on the Forum not long ago (website info)

Sarco Artillery Holster Rig
Unless the quality has improved tremendously since I bought one a couple of years ago, I would recommend that you look elsewhere, or at least be prepared to return it if not acceptable. It is arguable that something close might be better than nothing (after all, I did keep it...), but...
I believe that mine was made in India. The overall quality was crude: it was not an exact copy (at least it did not smell like a moldy water buffalo...); and the leather was thick and rough on the unfinished side (not to imply that the outside finish was a thing of beauty and a joy to behold, but it was not too bad); and the metal fittings were exercises in primitive metal work. It looks OK from a distance, but up close and personal it is not something to inspire pride of ownership. BTW, CMR has a great reputation. Best regards. Bob |

Re: Sarco Artillery Holster Rigs?
I have one of the current Sarco Artillery Holster Rigs,
installed on a stock I bought from Sarco about 10 years ago. I bought a holster at the same time, but it did not have the other mounting straps and leather parts. The current set is of better quality. I'll try to get a picture or two of this on my 1917 LP08 in the owners section real soon. I have also bought one of Sarco's "New Luger Breachblocks" This required a little fitting, and is not up to early WWI standards of finish, but completely functional for a "shooter" with a worn block.
