Agreed, this makes sense if you wanna make a holster for multiple different pistols, or for a newer pistol that is not supported yet, or for a pistol that no one makes a light ready holster for. But for just a one off, the raw materials will cost most people 2x what a holster will.

I've been thinking of making things with kydex. It's basically maintenance free and impervious to moisture. Humidity is a big problem in Florida. And as you mentioned, in the long run, it's probably cheaper to make your own if you want different types for different purposes, different carry options or want to create a combination carrier like knife, sharpening stone, and magnesium bar. Even soft canvas holsters can cost a lot when trying to outfit multiple pistols or to have several for just one pistol. I appreciate the tip on using the inexpensive rivet tool. Those little presses are pricey, but you keep it easy and low cost.

You are heating the Kydex way to hot ..that is why you have shiny spots on the textured side. Try 275 degrees and the textured side comes out perfect! Also you need to cut the pieces a little smaller so you don't have so much waste.

Guns are like potato chips, you can't have just one.
