    This is my first attempt after viewing the above youtube videos. My wife just needed something for when she is target shooting and left handed Bersa holsters are not too easy to find.

    I always wanted to try that. Looks good for a first attempt.

    Nice job....although I don't think I would have formed it so tight against the trigger....trigger guard yes.

    Search YouTube for KYDEX PRESS

    There are a boatload of Videos on various assorted Kydex presses for sheath and holster making. Some are quite detailed. Then you can pick what exact style you might want to copy.

    This is the press I made.
    Just some 2x12 scraps glued together, an old camping mat and hinges.
    The hinges were bent in a vise.

    I still haven't made my press, but I'll take that one into serious consideration

    I would suggest re heating the trigger area and taking out the trigger formed area. You can still use the trigger guard for retention.

    Nice holster.

    My press is more primitive than that. Two pieces of particle board, a third w/ the pistol outline, two quick clamps, and foam from Hobby Lobby.

    Here is one of my holstersimage.jpg
