I made a Kydex holster today.

Though www.leatherslinger.net made me a very fine pair of holsters I had to try it myself so I finally got my 1’ x 2’ piece of Kydex in today and made myself a holster for my G23 and a magazine. It turned out okay but have not worn it around yet. It does come out of the holster faster than leather but certainly nothing to look at compared to leatherslinger’s work.

A pic would be nice.

[CharlieMike]

yes! pics and maybe instructions please.

[paramedic70002]

+1 on instructions, and where do you get the kydex?

[SOLOLUCKY]

Yeah where did ya egt your supplies?
I wouldn't make a holster, as i have pleny of them (see box), but i sure could see some uses for a strong, yet bendable and formable piece of plastic like that.

Solo, I converted a Bladetech crossdraw, IWB, to a strong-side appenxix, by making a J hook belt clip. You can get kydex, and related goodies from www.jantzsupply.com or www.knifekits.com
Easy to work with a heat-gun, though for a holster, you'd want to make, or buy, a foam-press outfit.

If I were making a holster, I'd get the .090", instead of the .060", kydex. Live n learn.....

I have ordered from knife kits .com before. they seem to take forever to deliver. I have been crafting a few holsters for my guns. Leather is nice, but a bit thick for me , atleast for summer carry.

Okay. I know you’ve asked for proof so here it is. It took so long to post because I didn’t like the way the belt retention turned out so I changed it completely.

I now have an IWB tuckable which works pretty good. I also made a IWB tuckable magazine carrier and a little holster for my Bench Made knife. I’m pleased with the way that you can hardly see the belt retention holders. I made it a split holder because I tend to carry at about 1 o'clock and that’s where my belt loop is.

Here is a front shot.


Here is the back.


Holster in place- full tuck.


Holster on outside to show where they are.


I’m pleased for my first holster. I’m already planning an OWB and a competition holster later. I’m going to make a holster for my bed side which will hang off the side with the left over kydex. I bought a 1’ x 2’ piece from http://www.classicknifekits.com/kk_1mainframe.htm

Very nice. You can get the "hand boned " look by heating the side w/ gun in place and pressing hard with a foam covered board. i usually do 1 side at a time.
