A Custom Kydex Holster Made To Specification

By Annabelle Holman


Different saws are used to cut the thick plastic material into precise measurements. A circular saw, band saw, and a router can assist with making perfect measurements. Other options to shape it is to bend, use break form, or cut with a laser. Added options for a custom Kydex Holster include using a hot stamp and perforation punches to add character or emblems. To keep the product safe from chemicals, adhesives and solvents are not used. An Ultrasonic spot weld and metal fasteners are rather used to link and create the holsters.

One casing is made for concealing a protective weapon. The weapon can be in the form of a gun, magazine holder, or a knife sheath. The thick material will protect the knives and guns as well as the individual carrying them. Wear and tear is is kept to a minimum on the inside and outside of the holster.

Optional holsters are also made for non-protective items such as cell phones and dip cans. This option allows a person to conceal a habit or expensive technology. The holster will protect expensive personal products from bumps, drops, and moisture.

The key to a perfect holster is the tight fit. The snug fit eliminates the possibility of loss and avoids breakage from a small fall. The least amount of gap between the product and the casing ensures it will not break free. Precise measurements are more plausible when the item that needs the case is mailed in and a mold is made.

Many colors and designs of choice are available. One should consider the outside color is visible to others and the inside is only visible to the owner. Depending on the purchaser the the colors can be the same or different. Each person has this option when creating the case of his or her liking. Some colors to choose from are solid while other colors are camouflage. Different colors are usually chosen for different personalities while others prefer to chose a simple color for inside and out. The color of the trim is also a decision the creator makes.

The custom-made holster is also made for any given location. Locations can either be on the belt, chest, or pant leg. In addition, some have preference of carrying inside or outside of the pant. In some instances the purchaser does not wear belts so other locations are taken into considerations. When choosing an alternative location the holster should not be too bulky if the goal is to conceal.

Some added accessories change the look while others completely change the design. When making an order be sure to consider equipment enhancers and whether or not the design is going to change. The change in colors will not make a difference, however; adding eyelets and fasteners will make a difference. The addition of a thumb break, sweat guard and lights to a gun will completely alter the design.

The most functional option to consider is directional use. The creator needs to consider which hand is more dominant, the left or the right. The safest option to chose for a custom kydex holster is ambidextrous. The latter of the two is most helpful when the purchase is for a gift.
