First kydex holster build

[TxKronik]

I decided to make my own kydex holster and one for a friend
mine is the glock finished and his is the kimber 1911 not finished yet



What y'all think?

Looks pretty dang good

[TxKronik]

Takes the better part of a day to make each one so far but I'm taking my time so far pretty fun stuff

[lanceodom]

How, where do you get kydex?

[TxKronik]

Knife kits . Com 10$ for 12x12 square will do 1 holster

[TxKronik]

Heat the kydex in a toaster oven to 325 I used a laser thermometer then press it in foam for 15 min to form one side then heat the other and repeat but leave the first side on the gun



A pic of a press

My press is just foam between plywood ratchet strapped to hold the pressure

Then shape it with sander and hand sand for finish belt clips made with a small jig out of same kydex knife kits . Com has all the stuff u need to get started cost me 90$ for 4 12x12 sheets and the eyelets screws foam and eyelet setter but now each holster will cost 10-15 $ depending on the color kydex I want

I ended up take the extra tab sweat guard of the glock holster

My next project after my buddies holster will be a mag pouch and handcuff case
