Does anybody know where to buy this holster?

I don't know but perhaps the logo on the strap can provide a clue for someone who recognizes it

I went with the Oberwerth Camera Holster

I assume nobody uses a regular strap when carrying the camera in a holster. Do you typically add at least a wrist strap?
I am so used to having a camera on a strap that I almost dropped the camera when I reached into the bag to change the lens :).

I typically use a very minimal leather wrist strap with a strong tether, not a split ring with M cameras. Fits nicely into the Oberwerth holster. I don't think it would be possible to fit an M camera with a neck strap into the Oberwerth Holster.

Is this strap really safe to carry an M with attached lens for a longer time?

I am also wondering.

The description says that it has a braided 130 lb test Dacron tether.

This means over 50 kg, if I am right. But what about the abrasion caused by the strap eyelet when worn?

I've used this wrist strap since 2020. I bought it specifically to avoid split ring and strap rub/abrasion marks. The strap and tether still look new with no signs of use and of course no abrasion marks on any of my Ms. Yes, the tether is very durable and strong, not that I am expecting to dangle up to the rated 130 lb or 59 Kg from the Dacron tether on this strap. I also use the Leica hand grip and this wrist strap, which to me feels like a very secure hold/grip when pulling the camera out of the holster and all fits nicely with the Oberwerth holster too.

Here's an old shot with this wrist strap and the M10 + Grip

I've been using the bog standard Leica strap, but I install it with a few twists so that it hangs down, and has three coils to it.  Then I put my hand through the coils, slide them up to my wrist, and shoot or hold the camera with fingers around the lens.  I can dangle it if I have to dig out keys or small change.  Or still hang it around my neck or over the shoulder.

I know those cords are rated @130 lbs. breaking strength, but that spindly little piece of string still makes me all jibbity.  😳

Agreed. It definitely would make me worry of the expensive camera attached to the little string. 😂
