RAZZ Posted January 16, 2010 Share Posted January 16, 2010 (edited) DIY KYDEX! Here are the two most recent products of my new time-consuming hobby. A DOH-type for a 92FS And an IWB for a single stack Making stuff is neat. Edited January 16, 2010 by RAZZ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bofe954 Posted January 16, 2010 Share Posted January 16, 2010 Nice looking stuff. Ever try and do a DOH with a big "U" shaped hanger? Seems like it would keep the gun from pointing at your thigh and give more thumb room when drawing. I think someone makes one like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RAZZ Posted January 16, 2010 Author Share Posted January 16, 2010 Interesting you should mention that. I used a bit less cant on the DOH-type than a real DOH holster just for that reason--It hangs nearly vertical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nemo Posted January 16, 2010 Share Posted January 16, 2010 Cool looking stuff there Razz! Are the products of your kydex bending for your personal use only or do plan to go commercial? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RAZZ Posted January 16, 2010 Author Share Posted January 16, 2010 (edited) Not sure if I would ever go into business...I now understand why a simple kydex holster is so darn expensive. Its not because they cost a lot to make, but because they are labor intensive. I could probably make some in my spare time for half what a company charges and be happy with that--but you're really not paying yourself to do the work. What cha want Nemo--I'd be happy to make something for you or the boys Edited January 16, 2010 by RAZZ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fayetteflash Posted January 17, 2010 Share Posted January 17, 2010 Pretty smooth. How long does it take to build up a holster? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RAZZ Posted January 17, 2010 Author Share Posted January 17, 2010 (edited) Pretty smooth. How long does it take to build up a holster? The DOH-type took me about 4ish hours. The IWB took a little longer, but these were only my 2nd and 3rd holsters I've made, so I'm still learning. I suspect I could get it down to around 2.5 hours per holster once I get everything figured out. Having the proper tools helps to make things go faster--and I don't have the proper tools. Here's my first one. A belt holster for my G21. It was my first, so it looks a little rough, but it carries the gun so well and is so thin (compared to a leather holster) that it immediately became my off-duty holster of choice.

RAZZ Posted January 19, 2010 Author Share Posted January 19, 2010 (edited) Here is one I knocked out this morning. A DOH-type for my G34 that I'm going to use for production division this year. This one turned out really nice, and its the first one I've made that I would consider 'sellable' should I decide to do it. ETA: I see the paint is still a little wet on the bottom screw--I should be more patient Edited January 19, 2010 by RAZZ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
