My carry guns are tools.....I don't care about holster wear.

Thanks. The second one (on the left) I made was better than the first....although the leather cut was a little rough. I also made the clips.

So I got me some leather today.....
It took 3 tries to get the kydex right. i had to remove the mag release...grips...grip screws on one side....and cut a grove in my top board that fit over the slide lock and safety. The top board was pushing the top rear of my gun to far, making that area of the kydex to deep.

I used my Crossbreed and guild....and for the hardware I needed.

BTW....I have the overly priced kydex press from knife kits, and the foam that is made for it. I did remove the top piece of foam but left the bottom for the molding that i needed. I still plan to do some minor spot molding but it very functional as is.

The only Kydex I had that was thin enough is the gray. The black i have is .120.....waaaay too thick for this.

Oh yeah....this is for a Kimber ultra.

The cut out frame is an awesome idea. I have everything I need but the leather. I guess I need to go down the street to the locaL tandy and start making my own holster.
