Opinions on this holster

Bought this holster today for $125. Did I do ok or screw myself? Not too up on things Swiss lately.

Hi Doug,

I think $ 125 is a very good price...you may have trouble finding someone that has a spare shoulder strap to go along with your holster.

The better prices/bargins on Swiss holsters is to buy them from LF members that liive in CH...

p.s. The spare magazine pouch can be very tight and almost impossible to remove a magazine that is fully inserted. Some guys squeeze the end of the leather pouch to push the magazine a bit forward. This has a tendency to distort the shape of the leather at the pouch end. I use a piece of twine wrapped around the end of the magazine (longitudinally) before I insert it into the pouch. Then I pull on the ends of twine to start the magazine out of the pouch...

Regards,

Pete...

Can you put a shoulder strap on this holster? I do not see where one would attach to this holster.

Russ, the strap loops have been removed. This is for a belt only now.
