Default Another Kydex holster

A member of the archery club won a handgun and she wants to wear it as a sidearm while running her trap line so she asked me make a holster. Back to the bin of kydex.



The first step is to build up the areas that can be trapped in the holster such as the trigger guard and front sight.






Trial run



Bake as 350F



Press into foam on my homemade press.



After 10 minutes of cool down.





Then make the other half and while clamped together, cut the ends off.



Then the belt loops









Then drill for the Chicago screws



Then assemble





Then cut out the perimeter and polish the edges.

It makes me ever-so-happy that you orient all of your screw heads the same.

As always, quality work.
