    I have to admit that I have a thing for Swedish firearms. Ever since my Dad started buying Swedish Mausers in 1986 as a result of the positive effects of the McClure-Volkmer Act (FOPA), and gave me one for my 21st birthday, I've appreciated their quality, and they've continued to catch my attention at gun shows. Anyway, a few years ago on Sturm, someone posted a Swedish Lahti M40 Pistol with holster for sale, and I jumped on it. The Swedish Lahti M40 is based on the Finnish Lahti L-35 pistol. It's a heavy 9mm pistol that is often mistaken for a Luger at a glance, but it has more angular features, and a different bolt mechanism. I have one of about 10,000 Danish Police models that Sweden sold to Denmark after WWII. When I first shot my M40, I was impressed by its accuracy, and how fun it is to shoot. I have many 9mm pistols, and I think for the fun factor, this is my favorite one to shoot. From a collector perspective, there are some accessories that can be had for the M40 that add to its fun factor. The Swedish manuals that cover the other Swedish M40 (Colt Thompson Submachine Gun) also cover the Lahti M40 Pistol. I'd like to find an individual Swedish manual for the Lahti M40...I'm pretty sure they exist, but don't recall ever seeing one. Anyway, there are a couple of different holsters, and a cleaning rod, lanyard, and loading tool that are specific to the M40 Pistol. Posted below is a picture of 2 holsters and the accessories that I have for my M40. I forgot to include a manual in the picture. Going from memory, I believe the brownish holster is an Air Force model and the black one is an Army model. I may be mistaken...maybe someone here can clarify, or I can find the information in one of my books.
