New homemade kydex holster

[magic man]

I spent a couples hours in the garage tonight and came out with this. It was some scrap kydex I had left, .08 thickness I believe. If interested I ordered it from KnifeKits.com Designer Knife Kits - Knife Making Supplies - Sheath and Holster Making Supplies.

Here are some pics. It is a Glock 23, by the way.

Comments, questions, and advice are welcome

I just use a $10 heat gun from Harbor Freight, some thick leather gloves, and some damp paper towels to cool the kydex after it's formed. I used a press with some cheap walmart camping mat on my first holster, but I find it easier to just form it by hand. To cut and smooth the edges I use a dremel knock-off from HF.

This is my third holster. I've made 2 OWB holsters and one IWB. I also just finished a single mag holder. I'll get some pics.

Here is the first, the OWB.

Here is my second holster, the IWB. I have since curved the belt hooks so it more secure.

Way to go man! From one Kydex guy to another, welcome to the wonderfully frustrating world of kydex! I've been doing kydex for almost a year now and I love it! If you ever need any tips or anything just send me a PM, I'd love to hear from ya

This was my last 1 I did..Can believe the savings doing them yourself..I use chicago screws so I can mold differnt guns and just change the Kydex mold for many different carry options
