I've had some Kydex laying around for a while and decided that I would swing by Tandy leather to pick up a couple things.

I never realized how close they were to me. About a 15 minute drive to Main Street in East Hartford.

I picked up a sheet of leather, some Chicago screws and some belt clips. I picked up enough material to make about 4 holsters.

Here's the end result, I still may trim some more leather and shape the body side a little more.

Looks good!
How did you form the front sight channel?
I taped a pen to the slide during the molding process. :lol:

I taped a piece of small wooden dowel between the sights.

Wouldn't the gun be more secure if you just molded the front sight into Kydex?

It would, but then good luck trying to draw. Or even holstering it for that matter. The first one I did the (empty) pistol got stuck in it. :lol:

Nice job. You got the belt clips at Tandy too? How's the quality of them?

Thanks, yes I got the clips from there as well. They seem to be pretty good quality. They are quite springy and don't feel like they are going to bend out.

Here's a couple IWB mag carriers I made today as well.
