AFK holster

[Roadkill]

Good point, Jerry. But those were developed for WWI and leather (you tell me, you are the expert) would not easily lend itself to the shape required for the trommel magazine when 20 minutes with a sewing machine and cheap canvas material would serve quite well. If they would have considered the venture using canvas successful they most likely would have used it for the obvious as did the British (rifle slings, belts, canteen covers, holsters, Y harnesses, ect) for WWII but continued however to use leather. Another factor is that we are looking at this object without a true perspective of scale. It could indeed be larger or smaller than what we see in our minds. If there was a Luger or HP in the photos then we would be able to actually see what its size was in porportion to an object we are familar with. Sort of like my grand dad's rocking chair on the front porch. When I was a small boy it was huge. I could see the whole world when I climbed up in that chair. When I took it home after he died many years ago I was shocked at its diminutiveness and frailty. But I still can see the whole world when I sit in it, its just that the view is different. Later, ya'll. Think I'm gonna go rock a while on the porch with my two ugly dogs.
