Sidearms & Scatterguns kydex holster DIY

[wburke2010]

For those of you making your own holsters, where are you buying the kydex, rivets, and tools like the press, if you didn't make it yourself?

I found the website knife kits but wanted too know if there was any other websites and advise you could give me. thinking about making some of my own because I cant find any holsters I like or made for my gun. I would like to get the right tools and good ones right off the bat.

Thanks
Walter

knifekits.com is the place to get it all.

beware, it truly is an art. i've tried about 100 times, and cannot get ANYWHERE NEAR the quality Raven cranks out.

Knifekits has probably the best prices for small batches of stuff. However, their selection of stuff is not the largest; many times you'll want something that they don't sell, but usually, the experience you get from trying and failing with a standard product is worth it, since you'll get a much better idea of what you're trying to get at.

Take a look at the thread I started on vacuum-forming Kydex:

Re: kydex holster DIY

thanks for the info guys. I ordered the press and a few things from knifekits and I'm gonna take a stab at making some stuff, as long as its functional and does exactly what I want it too I'm not super worried about it being pretty. We shall see where it goes from here when everything shows up.
