Does anyone know where one can buy the various parts used to make kydex holsters ..... locally?



I don't need the kydex, but everything else. I want to look at, feel, and pick and choose my parts. I want to order 10 of one and 5 of another, not 100 packs from Florida.

Dont know where you are, but this place has tons of that type of stuff. It would be my first stop.

Fastenal

They sell both huge boxes, or small packets of every type of fastener you can think of. I have ordered lots of off size and weird configurations of things and always had good experiences.

Fastenal had nothing, nor did Tandy leather. Both had some finishing eyelets but they were a shiny silver. No black.



I ended up at a hardware super center local to me, and thing I got enough button screws (in black) with pan head phillips to get the job done. The only compromise I had to make was a countersunk screw for the belt clips. Even the local hardware shop didn't have the finish eyelets in black so pan heads/eyelets can't be used. They didn't have my favorite method which is the countersunk phillips head screws. They did have the allen head countersunk so I went with them.




Thanks for all the suggestions.
