All my supplies finally arrived today, so after work I banged out a quick holster to play with the technique. I've been wanting to play with kydex for a while, and really been wanting a hybrid holster for daily wear at 3 o'clock, so spend an hour playing around and made this:
I ordered the clips (they come with the hardware) from Crossbreed for $10 shipped, the cordovan aka horse butt, the kydex, and the chicago screws were $25 shipped from Springfield Leather. I still have enough horse butt to make 5 or 6 more holsters this size (and even this is too big, i need to scoot the clips in and trim it down a bit) and enough kydex and screws to make another one like this.
Has anybody else ever done anything with kydex? I used memory foam for my kydex press, but I didn't get the kind of sharp detail I really wanted, so I'm thinking of picking up some of the blue Wal Mart camp mat foam that people suggest.
If anyone is interested in a tutorial, just google around for "kydex holster," the 'net is brimming with them. I might snap a few shots of my press, though, as it's unique as far as I know--I made it with a pair of ratchet straps.
