MustangGreg66 Posted November 12, 2010 Share Posted November 12, 2010 Yep, I had a go at Kydex a while ago as well. Still using them. W2R Kydex Nice post and shell carriers. I was going to finally drop some $$$$ on some, but after seeing yours with the tension lip inside, I think I'll finally order some kydex and give this a try.

DyNo! Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 (edited) Took about three hours: It's for outlaw multigun only since it's pretty low. Edited February 11, 2011 by DyNo! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlatFender Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 Ya'll inspired me to start playing with kydex a few months ago, I've made a handful of holsters, and ruined a TON of kydex. My latest project has been some AR-15 mag carriers for 3-gun. I've been trying to make a "bladetech" style holster, but for some reason when I fold the kydex around the gun, the sight channel never lines up quite right. Anybody who has made one have any suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coyote4x4 Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 I've been trying to make a "bladetech" style holster, but for some reason when I fold the kydex around the gun, the sight channel never lines up quite right. Anybody who has made one have any suggestions? Got any pictures? I've heard of people putting a wooden dowel or something else to span the length between the rear and front sight. That way the kydex doesn't collapse into it. I haven't had that problem, probably because I use fairly thick kydex. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlatFender Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 (edited) I tried to add a picture, but I dont have a high enough post count to post a link...lol I actually think I got it figured out tonight by using some thicker kydex. I was using .08 for mag pouches and whatnot, but I went with the .093 for the paddle holster, works a bit better Edited March 1, 2011 by FlatFender Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joebob Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 (edited) Thanks for the specs, bump for others looking to make their own mag pouches. Also great work on the holsters, any directions or templates on those? Edited March 1, 2011 by joebob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I shoot there frequently, hit me up and I'll give you some tips. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glockster35 Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 Yep, that was me. I was the guy with the Glock that didn't run very well. I am hoping to be there again on the 9th, after rebuilding my gun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlatFender Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 Anybody have any ideas on a fast style of holster one could DIY for a Glock 24 in Limited? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlatFender Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 that looks great .i need to get good with this stuff Thanks. i refined it a little. worked out the lumps and smoothed the edges. This is kind of an old post, but do you have any sort of template for these? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coyote4x4 Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 This is kind of an old post, but do you have any sort of template for these? If Jeff doesn't chime in, what I would recommend is starting out with a mock up using regular old paper. Wrap it around your magazine and start cutting it to shape. When you have something you like, transfer the pattern to a piece of card stock and try it again, but refine the pattern even more. Then transfer it to kydex and see how it works.

FlatFender Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 Has anybody tried an 8 shotshell carrier? I've done a few 6 shell carriers, let me see if I can find a picture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
horseman Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 I just wondered if the material would hold up to a double 4. Those 6's drive me nuts bending over and moving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
