Hello, I am new to the forum and I am just wondering if anyone out there makes their own kydex holsters? I have recently started to after having trouble trying to find a good off duty holster for my G35 w/ SurefireX300. After making a couple of holsters I am hooked and just looking for advice from anyone that has the same interest. Thank you

I just got some kydex the other day. I'm going to play around with it making some small stuff, but I will probably eventually try to make a holster.

Welcome to the forum. Very cool that you make you're own. I'm just waiting for JL to hurry up and get good at it and I will beg him for one.

A search would probably lead to other places.

+1 for www.knifekits.com I get all my stuff there. Shipping is fast. I just finished a Raven Concealment knock off and enjoy it. If my wife would let, I would wear it to bed. I will try and post some pictures soon.

Yes please do. We have a resident holster expert here on the forum. WE always like to see new stuff.

Here are the pics of my last holster. Still a work in progress just like my camera skills.

Very nice. What light is that? It looks good and your attachments allow for adjust in cant and height. These types of kydex holsters have really grown on me recently, thanks to JL and Volgrad. I used to be a leather guy, typically IWB and now I almost always wear OWB in one of these.

The hard part is making a retention holster. It's easy to make a standard IWB or make something like the Raven Concealment Systems Phantom holster.

However, you can get a Safariland ALS (6377 or 6378) from opticsplanet.net for a very reasonable price. I bought mine for $29 shipped.

The light is a Surefire X300.

As for buying a affordable holster, I had trouble finding one for my G35 w/ light so figured I'd try and make one.

Here are some pics of my first holsters that I made a month or so ago. Not too sure why, but i thought i'd include a picture of my homemade press.

Very nice. I commend any of you guys that try it yourself. Good for you.

You Sir Are a Master! So, that's what I think of your Holsters...

Very Good!
A holster just has to hold a gun!
I bet yours will do it just fine!
Keep up the very good work!

I just finished this OWB holster for my G27 and tested it out at the range. So far so good.

I feel your pain my friend, I have been wanting a nice Kydex holster to use for my G23 w/ TLR-2. Your holsters look nice, good job.
