Not the best system in the world, but that was back in the mid '60s. Back in the day, we were not allowed to use any non issue holster, and at Kadena, after a weapons incident, we were not allowed to cut them down to expose the trigger guard. Seems by this post that there was more leeway in other theaters of operation.
