    I recently won a drawing in which the prize was a Shield IWB holster(kydex) It would be for my Sig 1911 w/rail in which finding anything to fit is a search .I meet with Nate to drop off my pistol for fitting & got it back the next day . The fit is perfect & is the most comfortable IWB holster i have now ,much thinner than my Milt Sparks Summer special & easier to reposition .Prices are reasonable ,I inquired about a possible crossdraw for my S&W model 27 w scope & plan on having one done for it in the near future . Going to be giving Shield holsters some business since they are pretty close to me,The quality is as good as other more expensive kydex holsters that I have tried out ,If you have a special project or just looking for a good holster, their contact is SHIELDHOLSTERS@hotmail.com

    Those are sharp. How is working with the leather making those hybrids? I haven't tried it yet but I'd like to get into it.

    I don't really work with leather. LOL! The guys that do are real craftsmen.

    What I do is cut out a piece of leather and bolt some kydex to it. It's not that difficult. The folks at Tandy's Leather can hook you up with everything you need.

    Your bending skills are top notch. How long have you been bending?

    All of those look very sharp! I like that clip on the tan 19 set. Thanks for sharing your leather connection as that is the next style kydex i want to try to make as well. Keep sharing your work with us, I never get tired of looking at what others are making. Seems like everyone has their own spin on this kydex craft.

    Nice looking work. What's the wait time? I have a nice kydex iwb for my shield but thinking about trying a different one with a different clip. The clip it came with is too narrow and I didn't like having to wait 8 weeks for it.

    Made some custom OWB's. The red one is for a VP9 and the white one is for a P30. Working with Tactical Infusions, we can put anything on a holster!

    Good looking stuff my friend. Gotta love some tactical infusions. I haven't tried any overlay like that yet but it looks awesome.

    I am trying to help my fiance find herself an efficient way to carry, do you have any holster styles that tailor more towards women? She is a skirt lover and rarely wears a belt, do you have any options?
