Anyone know if Blade tech ever does sales or of a website that sells Blade Techs at a discount? Need a Left Hand holster for my Springfield MC Operator and having a hell of a time without spending over 100 bucks on a holster. Would love to spend around 50 bucks. |

Something about your post made me think of this reply. How handy are you with tools and making things? You can buy Kydex sheets from several places, I got some from an outfit called Texas Knifemaker's Supply (or something close to that). I've worked with leather before, making various gear for myself and friends. I found some posts on the internet about forming Kydex for knife sheaths, and figured I could do the same with holsters. My first gun project was a holder for my Surefire. It came out alright, but I used some pretty thin Kydex and I'd go with thicker stuff next time. I'm currently doing a Frankenstein job on an IWB Cen-Dex holster I've had for a while. I never really liked the holster as it was, so I've been changing the belt attachment along with a bit of other mods. If you don't find what you need, you might try making your own. Some folks take to it pretty quickly, some work hard at it and never get the results they want. Can't remember how much the kydex was, but it's way cheaper than $100. Texas Knifemaker's Supply Remembered to add that kydex needs to be heated up to something like 300 degrees or so. If you're worried about the heat and your gun, you might get one of the red or blue trainers similar to your model or one of the aluminum handgun models that holster makers use for forming. Someone here might tell you more about temperature and damage to your gun. |
