Kydex holster
« on: May 08, 2014, 10:56:36 PM »
I have been looking hard for a decent OWB holster for a Kahr PM9, just can not find one I like. Anybody got a suggestion for a place on Oahu that sells good holsters? Really looking for a kydex style but if something else feels and functions better I can be flexible. Alright guys thanks :shaka:

make out of kydex sheets or thin wall pvc.

I checked out a few vids on the youtube, looks fairly basic to do; I think. Have you made them by chance Q? Was it very complicated? Where would you suggest to buy the rivets, belt loops and other hardware for the holster? I found some kydex on ebay for a pretty good price.

I am going to check NSR tactical too as suggested by Macsack. Thanks.

Bladetech makes nice stuff and if you decide to make your own you can get misc hardware from them too.  I got sheets of kydex from Amazon for good deals. They have all thicknesses and colors.  You can also get aluminum screws that I personally think look better than those rivets.  Amazon also has those screws (Chicago screws).  City mill also has those screws.

Yeah, I checked his webpage out his stuff looks really nice. I don't think the lead time is very long either.

Thanks Dexter! I may try and stop buy next weekend when I am over there with my lower for that trigger adjustment, maybe I will pick up some kydex too when I am there. It's gonna be a full weekend hope I can make it, not over there very often.

Safariland makes the best quality Kydex holsters IMO.

Just an update on my holster search. I found a company called KT Holsters that have  really nice product as well as price point. Check them out if your looking for a Kydex type holster and magazine pouch gear. CS has been excellent so far and lead time is about 2 weeks. I need mine for a DHG class and Harvey over at KT Holsters said he would be certain to get it to me on time :thumbsup:

Check 'em out they got nice stuff.

Thanks for the info Kekoa.  I really wanted the 5.11 thumbdrive holster for my G17 with Inforce APL but they don't make light bearing ones  :(   That KT holster looks awesome and there's no 2 month+ wait time like some other companies, looks like I'll be ordering soon.

Kekoa:

This is not local as I haven't lived there for a while. I have and use a FIST,INC. holster model #1K clip holster for either my PM9 or PM40 as they are both the same size on the outside. I usually have my PM40 with me and will place it in the holster between my belt and pants, a personal preference. I notice on their website the model numbers have changed slightly and appears the pant hook they use is also different than mine. If interested, you may want to contact them.

I hope this helps.

G-Code holsters are molded, but I think they are top quality.  I really like their attachment setup with the RTI wheel.

Thanks Chris, G-Code would probably be my second choice, I like the RTI wheel also but I just checked their FAQs and they don't make a holster to fit the Inforce APL.  Also their turnaround time is anywhere from 4-10+ weeks  :o, KT Mech is about 2 weeks.
