Making Kytac KT-1 legal for Single-Stack?

[boo radley]

I have a Kytac KT-1 holster. It is not legal for IDPA, nor is it legal for USPSA's new Single-Stack division because it's cut lower on the front than 1/4" below the ejection port.

My thinking is, why couldn't I cut a small square of some material (more kydex?) and, using plastic epoxy, glue it over the cut-out, so that it now confirms to the 1/4" rule?

From what I can tell in the IDPA rule book, specifically modifying holsters to be compliant is legal (page 33). But not sure about USPSA. Gary, any thoughts? I can't imagine -- especially if I'm not just sticking a piece of tape there -- this would be an issue, but wanted to check.

Thx

The measurement is actually 1/2 inch. Does that make it? If not I would think a Kydex band aid should help the situation

What we are looking for is that you have to lift the gun to a point no farther than 1/2 inch below the ejection port before you can move the gun toward the target.

Thx Gary! Don't know why I had 1/4" in my mind, but anyway....As you can see, with this holster, the cut is about 1.2", so I have some patching to do....May not be as easy as I thought; I'm not sure where one can get a small piece of kydex.

Tell Dave at KyTac what you need and I am sure he can fix it for you. He could probably fix it so that you can take the attachment off if you desired to use the holster for carry use.

abs plastic pipe cement works well. Do you happen to have a bit of old kydex lying around?
