Any change for a modern holster?

Snoopy47 · 05-01-2012, 08:11 PM

I like competitive shooting, and was wondering if I could be silly by showing up with my Luger (a shooter), but I would need a holster that's a little more than a leather gun shaped sleeve with a flap.

All I'm finding are vintage or repo's. Anyone have a line on anything remotely modern?

To answer your question, Stoeger makes a more or less modern Luger holster. They are occasionally offered on Ebay. You might want to Google search and something might pop up that interests you.

I also have seen quite a variety of open top Luger holsters..Just a matter of widening your search. I don't know of any modern makes currently available.

Are you considering using a Luger in USPSA / IPSC style competition?

I personally would not do this. The safety mechanisms and design of the Luger doesn't (in my opinion) qualify for action style competition.

That said, I imagine you could get used to working with a Luger in action competition. I wonder what a "Race Gun" Luger conversion would look like?

You can commission a custom holster from one of the many excellent leathersmiths a google search will turn up. I have custom molded leather holsters for my HiPowers, 1911's and others. I'm positive that whatever your needs are, a custom rig that exactly meets them is just a phone call away. In fact, I am in process of having a custom fitted field holster for a Browning Buckmark made now, just because NOTHING exists on the aftermarket for that particular pistol. Surely your Luger deserves something made just for it?

i am sure you can have anyone that is qualified to build something like this http://www.waffen-werle.de/Werle%20D...el but WHY ????

Thanks, at most this was going to be for Steel Challange. I wasn't going to "move" and shoot with it. As mentioned by others, the safety is a challange and not easy to actuate. But it would be neat for steel challange

No line on one, but you see them occasionally. I sold this one a few years ago.

I like it!
A sandal for a Luger.

Yes, the ultimate 'alternative' luger holster. And the pistol can be fired without taking it out of the holster.

Probably only once.

At a lot of matches, all holsters are required to restrict access to the trigger of a holstered firearm.

That skeleton holster sure does have a lot of "cool".
