I am picking up a S&W  M&P 22 Compact next week and no one makes a kydex holster for it.  I was looking and kits are cheap, and it looks fairly easy to make.

Has anyone done it? Any tips or stories about doing it?

I haven't done my own before, but I believe there are several DIY kydex threads on this forum. This one may be a good place to start:

I have, it is simple but you will need a few "specialty" tools. Once you get the tools out of the way you can make as  many holsters as you need for very low cost.

As the above post suggests (post 3) KnifeKits.com is an excellent source for tools, hardware, and materials...

There are a number of good YouTube videos on the subject as well.

For one holster the costs don't make sense.  Maybe put a wtb request in the EE.  Trying to save you time and money.

I've made plenty for most my pistols even though I only really use 1. . I finally figured out how to make them with lights. Mine look professional. The hardest part is having the pistol or blue gun. If you don't mind breaking even about the third-4th holster than go for it.
