First time with Kydex
« on: March 27, 2013, 01:58:51 PM »
Anyone making sheaths or Holsters with plastic??

I have ordered some sheets, chicago screws, rivets, dies for the rivets and some foam to make a press. Watched some videos on YOU TUBE...

Any one have pointers or advice to share?

I've got a "fighting knife" project in the works; don't ask me why,  :-\   it's been a long time since I've been in a knife fight!   ::)   Anyway, if I ever get to that stage I'll make the sheath outa Kydex.   ;D   Looks like pretty easy stuff to work with.

That's my thinking Richard!

I'm ordering a "kit bag" for riding. http://www.hillpeoplegear.com/Forum/tabid/679/forumid/22/threadid/718/scope/posts/Default.aspx (Both ATV and Street) But don't much like the idea of a uncovered trigger guard carrying on my chest. (Think GLOCK no manual safety) I like these MIC holsters. http://www.glocktech.com/ I'm going to meld the two!
 On the ATV I like to carry my PMR-30 but there are no holsters for it. So I am going to attempt a mic style for the PMR to attach in the kit bag.
