Homemade Kydex.








Here is a holster I cooked up using a bladetech paddle that I've found the most comfortable so far. I've been wearing this about 3 months now without any problems. Compared to my Bladetech and Fobus it sits about 1/2-3/4" closer to my side. I wore it most of the summer with only an untucked tee.

I have seen links on how to make Kydex holsters in the past. Yours is a great example. It looks store bought to me. Maybe someday I will have to give it a try.

That looks sweet, can we get a few picks of it by itself to see how you got it to stay so close to the body?

Do tell please. I have wanted to do something like this for an IWB mag/flashlight carrier. I can't find anything commercial that works for what I want to do.

Some more pics of the Bladetech and mine side by side. You'll notice I didn't counter sink the chicago screws as deep as they did, just enough to where they don't contact the 9c. I also used a thinner Kydex. You'll notice mine is somewhat more narrow than BT's.
