Luger accessories

[Dr.Rob]

I've been looking around for a good reproduction Luger Holster for my 1939 Mauser made P-08 (think I finally picked the one I'm going to buy), and yet there are a few, likely VERY silly questions I'd like to ask RE: Luger Holsters/Gear.

Anyone have a takedown tool marked 1939 or know where to get one? I've found them Waffen marked and marked with a Mauser banner but not dated. (may just opt for the waffen marked)

Anyone seen a concealable rig for a Luger? (on the off chance some crazed yahoo like me ever decided to shoot IDPA with a Luger)

Best MFG of aftermarket magazines? I've seen Luger mags with aluminum bottoms as cheap as $25, wooden bottoms like $30.

I've also seen a brown leather 2 magazine pouch for sale at Sportsman's Guide.. what branch of service/time period is that?

Many of the repro holsters are good copies, and available for under $40.

I've seen a number of take down tools, but not a dated one. (No real reason to date or number them, as they were not really "matched" to the weapon. (The one that came with my captured 1938 S/42 had Waffenampt, but not dates. It had the original holster, and the name of the guy who "liberated" it scratched into the leather.... He was the cousin of a neighbor who inherited the gun.)

You can probably find a belt "slide" holster that will work with the luger.

Mine is a tack-driver, but it would be a tough IDPA gun. Malfunction drills will be something you'll need to practice -- as they're not easily cleared.

One Master-level shooter I know has won an IDPA match shooting a Luger. This is no small achievement given the fact that its SA and you are competing in the toughest IDPA divsion (ENHANCED SERVICE PISTOL) with only 7 (or maybe 8) rounds and horrid sights!!

The best mags I've found -- and mags are the weak point -- are those made by Mec-Gar. CDNN has them, as do others. Great mags at a reasonable price. (Around $20.)

Brown leather, I believe was common in WWI, and changed to black in WWII. My captured Luger (since sold) came with a black holster that had clearly been brown in an earlier incarnation.

Luger Holsters...

I got one from this site. They will even make it match your year of Luger for
$5 more. Very well made...Luger Holster Site...

Thats the place I was going to order from.

I said I'd have to be crazy to use it in IDPA. I was just wondering about "other" holster options. I've seen an Uncle Mike's Leather rig for Ruger Mk1 Std that would work but little else.

I agree with Johnny C, IMA is a great company to deal with.
LOTS of cool stuff.

If you feel you've just GOTTA try it in IDPA, look for a "Yaqui Slide" type holster. That'll be one of the fastest ones you can find. (The holster for the Ruger MIGHT work, but it won't be especially speedy.
