Post pics of your home made Kydex holsters

I am looking to make both an IWB and a SOB holster from Kydex and could really use some ideas.

If anyone has made any I would live to see them!

Nice!
I still haven't made loops for the one you made me... It is sitting on my bench waiting, patiently, for it's loops. LOL.

Thanks for the endorsement QKshooter. There are some real artists on this board who can bend some kydex better than me, too.

This is the second holster I've made from Kydex, and I need a LOT more practice before I can compete with the others here. However, this holster does have an interesting feature: it's a tuckable, with no clip showing over the belt. The 'clip' is threaded through one's belt loop and rides behind the belt (between belt and slacks) at 3:00. One has to unscrew the Chicago screw from one of the support points to add the holster to a pair of slacks or remove it, but it works quite well so far as security and tuckability.

Note that the shine one sees is due to overheating: I was a little free with the blowtorch...

Pocket holsters for my PPS and a customers PPK. Then some random holsters, knife sheaths and mag carrier I have built.

Interesting clip feature. Could you post a pic with a belt threaded through it too? The shine is indeed from over heating. It took me a while to ease up and be patient with the heat gun.

I used a pen torch for a while. I can tell you a heat gun is much better..

My second bender..

O wasn't this thread about IWB??

This thread has me itchy to play with some kydex... Looks like fun.

Does the heat effect the BlueGun any?

Nick.
