Luger Holster

Stercus Accidit

I bought a reproduction luger holster recently,
and I dont get the strap inside it?

Ok, its a holster, it has a lid, it closes over and fastens with a buckle, but inside the holster there is a strap fixed to the front and rear of the holster.

Is this to secure the luger by sliding over the grip, or to sit under the trigger guard providing a pull string to pull the luger out?

I'm bamboozled.

You'll probably find that the Luger is a little hard to get out of the holster, right? Bit of a struggle to get the fingers in around the grip, thus grabbing it by the rear of the reciever is the easiest option, not very practical though when a Tommy is pulling his Webley from his nice flexible web holster :pac:

That strap, there is a tab on the ouside of the holster, with the gun in the holster, grab that tab and give it a good pull upwards, and up your Luger comes with it . Be a bit stiff at first, but once the leather softens it'll work better.

Good man, thats what I've been doing

Just wasn't sure if it was the correct use for it.

Thanks.

Hello chem,

I am no authority on these and may be wrong, but I would say that is a fake judging by the stamps. I have never seen a waffenampt stamp like that one and the totenkopf on the front looks way off. 'Dachau'??...I don't think so.
