I posted this in the holster forum, but I thought it may get some more attention here._,
I'm looking at putting together a G-Code RTI setup for my war belt. I have a 1911 which is easy enough, as is the M9 holster which I may need as a guardsman. The catch is the FNX-9. I'm looking to buy one and there are almost no holster options for it. G-Code sells the attatchment hardware, so it's easy to do, but I'm not horribly familiar with custom holster makers. The only ones I know of make leather or a Raven concealment style kydex holster. I'd like something akin to the G-Code. Is there anyone who would do this if I bought and sent the hardware to them? If I can find one, I may try to get one for my P6 as well.

Nice!
I was wondering about GCode doing off the menu work. I was debating between GCode, BT, & Safariland. I'm running the Bladetech TMMS setup right now for my g19 w/tlr-1 & czp01 w/tlr-1. I can also take any BT holster & mount it to the TMMS plate & drop it onto belt, vest, etc. just by ordering another plate/receiver kit. These modular systems are great! |

Quoted: If they do out of catalog work that'd be great. I emailed them a couple weeks ago if they ever planned to offer one and i never heard back. When I get it, i'd be willing to send them out if they were interested in adding it to the lineup but didn't have one. Call there and ask for Scott. When I talked to him he was willing to do custom work for me. We didn't get into price though and I haven't yet taken him up on his offer so I don't know the end details of a transaction of that nature. ST |

ST I emailed Rick a couple weeks ago, but I sent Scott one this today. I'll contact Scott directly if I don't get a response. This isn't a pressing need, but I'd like to get some holster options before I jump into getting one. I've allocated money for a can, and I'm gonna wait till it hits the shelves and I order it before I go get the FNX. G Code also needs some good descriptions of the differences in their holsters and options. |

I wonder if the FN Shooters pack could be adapter with an adapter as an interim solution.
Does G Code need to have a gun for each holster made or is it only when they first develop a holster? If they need a FNX only for reference to start a line of them I'd be willing to send mine in. |

Not to speak for Scott, but he told me they use a CMM to generate a 3D model of the firearm, and use it to reverse engineer the mold halves. Once the molds are made they mold the Kydex & use a CNC machine to trim the Kydex & drill the holes and other features. The CMM process & creating the model are a breeze, but investing the time & money in the mold would be pretty steep, I would say. Not something they would probably do for an obscure gun, I would think. My .02... John |

The FNP isn't all that obscure. It's relatively new, but is slowly gaining a following. The FNX is a product upgraded model intended to replace the FNP line. It's slowly gaining in popularity, but stuff like the lack of holsters is keeping it from being too popular right now.

FNX: 
Got what you're saying on the SR-9. While I don't have one I can understand the frustration of finding a gun that works but doesn't have accessory support. Kind of one reason I wanted to find someone who does custom kydex that could do a holster like this. |

I have a Serpa for the Ruger,
so it forces me to use the thumb safety. I would really like to get to a holster with retractable hood retention to put the release on the right side with my thumb, & not with my trigger finger. I will keep in touch with Scott and wait for a G-Code XST with RTI, but I will probably go with a GHS make a Kydex holster to do until then. <<<=== Edited: It was past my bedtime when I typed this... Be safe! John |
