Garmil Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 Anyone sell an open bottom kydex holster for the limited/stock 2 frame? I see that the ghost thunder has an open bottom but I am wanting to use a boss hanger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JordanGriffith Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 Look up Fox Valley Kydex. He’s got my Limited right now making a custom holster. I’m sure he can make you one with the bottom open. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garmil Posted March 3, 2018 Author Share Posted March 3, 2018 Talked to them they do make some very nice stuff! $100 for just the shell seemed high to me though, may end up going with one anyway though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JordanGriffith Posted March 3, 2018 Share Posted March 3, 2018 Yeah from the things I’ve seen they’re nice. Better than an store bought holster. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why do you want an open bottom? Idle curiosity. Edited March 5, 2018 by MemphisMechanic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going to be running as a normal limited and with a compensated upper with slide mounted optic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
e-mishka Posted March 5, 2018 Share Posted March 5, 2018 There is always a Dremel option Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IronArcher Posted March 6, 2018 Share Posted March 6, 2018 Yeah, you can just trim off the bottom.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garmil Posted March 6, 2018 Author Share Posted March 6, 2018 Or I could buy one made to be that way with nice edges. I understood chopping the bottom off was an option before I made the post but that's not what I'm looking for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EricF1 Posted March 6, 2018 Share Posted March 6, 2018 My Safariland GLS (long slide version) is open bottom and works great with my Stock 3. Bonus is that it has retention that you barely notice while drawing and it sells on Amazon for $35. Really the only downside was not having a straightforward way to mount to my Boss hanger, but that worked out fine using the Safariland plate.

I understood chopping the bottom off was an option before I made the post but that's not what I'm looking for. If it comes to that, smooth the edges with 120 then 200 then 400 grit sand paper on a wood block to flatten the edge out perfectly straight, round the corners over... Then take a dremel polishing wheel to it. I often trim or radius the corners on a carry holster somewhere or other, and that leaves it looking slicker than factory. Just FYI.

Lol love how the forum made your on Amazon a hot link for a some cat scratching tower. Which model do you have that works ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Click the link and buy stuff to support BEnos I guess? I got model #578-683-411, but since I'm using the Boss hanger (and throwing away the paddle), any of the 57x (for long slide, standard width) would work.

Garmil Posted March 8, 2018 Author Share Posted March 8, 2018 Ok cool thanks I did some looking around and was thinking that one. 683-411 with whichever mount. I'll be using a boss as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EricF1 Posted March 8, 2018 Share Posted March 8, 2018 Cool. Here is what the bottom looks like if that helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garmil Posted March 8, 2018 Author Share Posted March 8, 2018 Nice that should work fine for what I'm doing. Worth a shot for the price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kingman Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 Sorry. Not on here often. Yep. Order with the threaded barrel option and we open it up. We then clean it all up nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MemphisMechanic Posted March 11, 2018 Share Posted March 11, 2018 RHT holster bodies are my personal favorite, and I have no sponsorship affiliation with him. They just fit all my guns perfectly and are very stout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apolo Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 I truly don't think it can get any better. The extra layer of kydex really does wonders. The release feels very crisp and consistent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
