P08 Holster question...

leadhead · 10-02-2009, 02:25 PM

I've got a P08 that has been re-barreled to 4 1/4" and I was wondering if there was enough room in the standard luger holster to accommodate the extra 3/8" or so barrel length?

Thanks

Charley..Only way to really tell is to try it in one. I suspect certain WW2 holsters are large enough to accomodate a small 3/8 addition. WW1 holsters are tighter for the most part. It depends on the top closing.
My guess is some will..some won't.

I'd agree with that. Seems like Lugers are loose in the later holsters, while the earlier holsters fit the gun like a glove.

Thanks guys, I figure I will give it a try and even if I need to work the leather a bit to get it to fit it shouldn't be too bad...
Cheers!
