"Ideal" Holster/Stock for the Luger
This video analyzes the rare and innovative "Ideal" shoulder stock for the Luger pistol, designed by Ross Phillips. The stock featured a unique attachment mechanism using special grip panels with metal locking surfaces, allowing for quick detachment in the short position and secure locking when extended. While patented in 1904, the design appears to have been commercially unsuccessful due to cost or manufacturing challenges, with most known examples predating the patent grant. The video notes that similar, equally scarce stocks were also made for Colt and Smith & Wesson revolvers. The Luger pistol shown is being sold separately by Rock Island.
