Members gregintenn Posted February 18, 2012 Members Report Posted February 18, 2012 Cool. I made one last year for a guy who still hasn't paid for it come to think of it. Now I know there are a total of two pancakes for Lugers in existance. Quote
Members glockanator Posted February 18, 2012 Author Members Report Posted February 18, 2012 I add to much space for the stitch line on the barrel. Oh well still like it. That is a nice looking holster as well. Quote
Members malabar Posted February 19, 2012 Members Report Posted February 19, 2012 Lugers have to be one of the most challenging pistols to fit properly into a modern concealment holster. There's just not a lot of pistol to mold. You can't mold tight onto the barrel because of the towering front sight. And besides, it's round, so it doesn't give much grip anyway. The midsection is narrow, and it's very heavy at the back end. Canting the gun in the holster would certainly give a bigger cross section to grip, but I don;t know if it would help much. Glockinator: Is that a strap on yours? I suspect that's the pragmatic answer. Anyone else tackle a Luger or Ruger Mark pistol? tk Quote

Members gregintenn Posted February 19, 2012 Members Report Posted February 19, 2012 The Luger is a heck of a lot easier than the Ruger 22. It's front sight is a gigantic hook, that will hang on something, no matter what you do. Quote
