That sounds reasonable. I was mostly trying to whip something up quick to see if it is possibly to comfortably carry the 5" slide (my friend just bought a service XD9 and said he'd trade slides/barrels with me if I wanted) without cutting up one of my full kydex sheets. I didn't even think of the hole-in-the-jeans factor, that's an excellent point, the next one will definitely have a full 'pocket'.
Also, I say buy yourself a $5 toaster oven and a $7 heat gun on craigslist, order some kydex, clips, rivets, and a horse butt from springfield leather, and make the time! Kydex is great for working fast, because you aren't committed...I 'recast' the piece for this probably five times before I was happy with it. If you get it molded and you don't like it, toss it back in the toaster oven on 375 and it will completely flatten back out and you can try again.
