Holster Information?

Hi Quintin, and welcome to the forum.

You will make a good choice by not firing a collectible Luger. These older firearms do break, and breaking a numbered part is a considerable historic and financial loss.

Your holster is collectible. It should be restored at some point, and Jerry is the international "go to" guy for that work. He has the background and skills to do it right.

Don't store your Luger inside the holster. Get a "borestore" or "rug" type cloth zipper gun case. It needs to be secured as well. I remember being in school, and that my state university was a high risk area for losing things. At that time, we could have firearms at university and the campus police had a facility for storing them. Different times.

You'll probably enjoy our FAQ document. Download the PDF by following the link to "FAQ" at the top of the page and then the link to the document post toward the top.

Marc,
Thank you very much. The 100 rounds I did shoot are the last ones which that particular Luger will ever so much as have chambered in it, you just never know when your last day will be, no matter our age or position in life, and I wanted to at least shoot one to say that I have. I do plan to have the holster restored by him as he has already given me a price quote for it. I had read beforehand to not store the Luger within the holster and currently do have it wrapped with a RemOil partly soaked rag (carefully making sure to keep the oily section around the toggle/barrel/Reciever away from the grips) in a gun case. I have both stored back at home as opposed to with me here at my school apartment for the safety precautions as mentioned. Thank you
