    ........ so I made one for the Mrs M&P Shield 9MM.









    Going to make a few minor tweaks on the next one but I'm liking it !

    You missed a stitch ... Only joking - it looks really good! Did you use bees wax on the leather edges?

    Very nice, how does the cost compare to a factory holster. ( seeing if viable to try as well for an old gun)

    Thanks

    About $50 US in material, and two days in design and manufacture and a hell of a lot better than anything you'd get off the shelf for $50. Starting on a left hand version for the nephew's P226 next.

    Even with conversion and duties, it works out well, this side. I have 2 quotes of over R1600.00, because they do not have the moulds... I have a kydex press available, so I think I might give it ago.....

    Thanks

    Make sure to wet form the leather to the curved kydex BEFORE making the holes for your screws, I learned that the hard way. Would love to see it when you get it done :-)
