Title: Tried my hand at holstermaking.....
Post by: LoveMyXds on March 23, 2010, 05:21:12 AM

Here's my first attempt at making an inside waistband holster.... It was pretty fun actually, and super comfortable. Hides the big XDM pretty well too. Keeps the natives from getting jumpy.

Looks like a nice job, especially for a first-timer. Congrats!

Nice try! Nothing like diving into  something and getting it right. Can we get a photo of it in place to see how it looks on the belt? I'd be interested to see what shows.

That one is a Crossbreed clone if you want one for yourself... I modified the design to make the grip angle adjustable to tuck it in more or less for speed or concealment as I wish...

The Glock holster is more conventional, but still has a couple of neato features..... To be continued......

Here's a pic of the outside waistband lefty convertable model.... You can take the screws out and reposition it in either FBI cant for three o'clock carry or pancake carry at 5 or 6 o'clock....

Thanks Fellas! I have a leather edging tool and some dressing to slick up the edges coming in the mail soon.... That will give the leather parts a much more finished look... Already working on new designs for some of my pals here in town... Maybe I can recoup some of my $.... Elsewise my holsters cost me $100 a piece! LoL
