Erma KGP68A .32acp pocket holster?

Heck, if a regular belt/hip holster were what you wanted, I'd see if Jerry would make you a mini P.08 style! I read here that he's made them for baby actual Lugers. Never saw a pic, but I hear they are sweet.

If you can hook up with a leather worker you can work with, and know specifically what your criteria are, you might consider a custom job. That way, you'll get exactly what you need/want. I'd never even think of reaching for anything in LEO presence. Such movements risk a lead shampoo. Once someone with training gets into "muscle memory" mode, all deliberation is at an end. And it has happened.

BTW, I own almost a dozen Erma Luger-wannabes. The earlier ZAMAK models are definitely glitchy, so I'm passing on those mostly-steel-free 60s examples and concentrating on the KGPs like yours and the slightly larger KGP69s. I have some spare parts, FYI. If you're going to shoot this much, consider chamfering the leading corners of the extractor where they have a tendency to snag the receiver's extractor cut on the way into it and get tossed into the stratosphere, along with their tiny springs and plungers.

The only issue I've had thusfar was at the first range visit...
I decided to go before doing the usual detail strip & clean...
which was probably a mistake...turned out there was a LOT of oil
inside the gun, which probably led to some of the ejection problems...
oil+pressure+heat+burnt gunpowder = glue
So that meant a speedy cleaning was needed ...
did a fast strip & dry, and got back to the firing line...

Then figured out quick that one needed a firm grip with this pistol...
a soft or light touch led to ejection problems as well,
but with a firm grip, it fired like a sewing machine

I like it! I've got several different boxes of ammo to try out,
& will enjoy figuring out which one it likes the best!!


Would love a pic of what the extractors are supposed to look like after chamfering!!
