Dwight, I have seen a few photos of working ranch hands with Lugers.I even recall one with a cowboy holding an Ideal holster/stock luger with stock attached. I will search my library for copies to post photos. Maybe other members will post any photos of lugers in use in the West. Recently had a 1900 commercial with Ideal grips coming from Canada with owners name engraved on sideplate that passed through our Gunsmith's shop. Needed new mainspring. It was well taken care of even though finish and grips were well worn. I bet a lot of Lugers went west from 1900-1930. Duane
