- There will always be times in your life where the "first" things will happen. I have built many holsters with the fabric already on the holster from the beginning, but never have a wrapped a holster while building it, to creat a multilayer holster, .093 boltaron, cordura and then .093 holstex create the layers on this rig.
One thing i learned is dont be afraid to take your time, cut relief points along curves and such and dont be afraid to mess up. Was this wrap job absolutely perfect, no, did it come out good? Yes, far better than i expected.
So for this build I blocked out a FN 510/545 mold for a level 2 right hand with a qls system, vac pressed it than ran with it.
How do you like your Cordura?

Something that I found that helps me with getting that pushed down is using a rounded edge bone folding tool(used in dress making & book binding), an infrared heat lamp to work under & for the holes a rounded tip felt plug(looks like a felt bullet) as this will melt the cordura and make for clean holes. A felt wheel will melt the edges and eliminate the lighter. I have never tried to apply that without having the holster folded. It looks good brother, keep up the great content
I’ve watched Roger at QVO do this several times over the years, after seeing that, I get why he charges so much!! Haha 😂 my customers will have to pay for this service and even then I can only guarantee fitment, the Cordura is anybody’s guess Lol 😂
Love it haha
I do a bunch of Cordure wrapped holsters. I can't say that I would want to wrap after the holster is formed. I attach the cordura to the kydex sheet before the heat press. I mainly do foam press with cordura but have had luck vac forming using a neoprene membrane.
That looked painful, bud! I am sure you won't be adding it to the options. Lol
I agree! I haven't had too much luck with this layer and vac forming at the same time. But I have an idea I'm gunna try and see how it goes
Can't wait to see what you come up with!
I do a bit of leather work occasionally. A burnishing tool, like bone or a really nice hard wood, would be awesome at pressing those tight angles, crevices, and flat spots.
Probably why the pencil was the most used tool hahaha
😮 ficou sensacional 😍😍😍😍👏👏👏👏👏
Nice work! I'm looking forward to getting my holster that I ordered in early February. Can't wait to use it for my next range day!
I wonder if before you fold it. Put it back on the vac mold and heat it up a bit with heat gun. And then put it in the foam press, if that wouldn’t help it lay down into the recesses better.
I have 3 sheets of this exact material to try. I see how not to do it. I’m going to try pressing it on a flat sheet of kydex then form it in a taco press. Love your work.
Foam pressing it would probably be easier lol
Either a lighter or the buffing wheel, they both work Lol
I'm kind of shocked that you were ok with the results, I've been watching your videos for a while and i was under the impression that you were somewhat of a perfectionist and your own hardest critic, but there was a lot of tenting on that. Don't get me wrong I love your stuff and have a lot of respect for what you do. just my opinion for what it's worth. I would have rocked that for myself as a learning experience but not for a paying customer. again love your content and i learn a lot from you.
I spent more time after the video pushing and getting inside with toothpicks and contact cement to flatten areas more.
NGHTARE TO DO...👍
There is a tool for installing screens in aluminum windows that is similar to the one u have. Where urs has foam it has a hard plastic wheel that is not very thick. Might try that for those inside corners.
I would love to start a Kydex Holster business but don’t know where to begin. What models to start with. How to reach out to customers. How to start a website. I semi retired and would love to make a little extra money to make ends meet. What you do is an art form and have a lot of respect for. It shows that you love what you do through the quality of work you do.
Go to your local gun store and see what they sell the most of, and go from there! Make a deal with them on holsters!
I started with guns that I already owned. Then, I took my work down to my local gun stores and got a few on their shelves. I went with the Facebook route and mostly did work entirely from word of mouth. I started with C clamps, cheap Amazon foam, and a table I made out of 3/4 pine for pressing. Start with big sheets of black kydex, a $40 screws/post kit offline, make some for yourself until you get the hang of it, and start to tell people that you can make em. And turn all of your initial profits into more tools and materials! I started casually two summers ago, and now I have over 100 molds, a legitimate press, every power tool I could ever need, I'm in two gun stores on the shelves, and the employees market for me and send me customers almost daily.
Thank you
I love what you do. I wish you had an IWB for the Ruger Security 9 Compact with the Viridian E Series Laser.
I'll be branching out into viridian at some point. Have to perfect some tooling first
That did not look very enjoyable! Good exercise in patience! I’d have given up on it. You’re a more patient man than me, Iggy!
It definitely was not. But I have since had a brilliant idea that I will film eventually
Are you not able to use a heat gun to soften the material like how you do car vinyl wraps
I used the heat gun off camera for a couple spots. It worked better for sure
im so confused on your vacuum sealer??? where is it?
I tried this ONCE....... ONCE
“I have a thicker one”…. that’s what she said !
I don't see why somebody wouldn't just order a simple kydex holster in that color so no wrap is required. That looks tedious, and it's gonna come off at some point, no matter how much you baby it. It's gonna look like trash when it starts to. I wouldn't offer it as an option.
Absolutely agree!
You spent so much effort and time to that job, but the result looks like a crap, no offense.
But why you think that fabric isn't stretchy? It's the same plastic as many others, but just no solid , and, I guess, it may the same warmed up and formed as others. Is it'll be forming well or badly - it's another question. But wrapping preformed shell by cold fabric - it was a bad idea from the very beginning, in my opinion...
Cordura is not stretchy.
