H & K Holsters

and now for something completely different........

2009-11-18T09:27:00.003-06:00

Some time ago I did some work to my Ruger 10/22..While messing with it I noticed a few folks had installed adjustable cheek rest..They looked like Kydex to me so I looked into it a little more..I was shocked to see the price tag on the ones everyone is buying so I made my own..I can tell you I can sell mine for half what the other guy's do and still make money....I still have not come up with a nut and bolt I like but I will.....

Proto type IWB

2009-11-18T09:23:00.003-06:00

This is something still in the works...

Anyway this one is going to have a bunch of options for clips,loops,ride height and cant....

Now for a OWB

2009-11-18T09:13:00.003-06:00

Now for a OWB

This one has adjustable ride height and you can also change how tight it pulls to your body.. If you want to CC you can pull it in tight if you want to use at the range you drop it low and hang it off you belt for easy grip.....

IWB with leather loops.................

2009-11-18T09:10:00.001-06:00

Moving on to another IWB this time with leather loops..

I really like the ease of use the leather loops provide....

Easy on and off OWB

2009-11-18T09:10:00.000-06:00

Now for a OWB again with leather loops..

I came up with this one because some folks showed concern that the lower cut Bikini II's were not stable enough of a platform...

So it has been awhile......

2009-11-18T08:46:00.002-06:00

I have been coming up with some new stuff just never thought to update this blog..

So here are some updates on what I have come up with...

Lets start with a new IWB with a Kydex clip...

Another Bikini II

2009-02-18T22:03:00.004-06:00

This one is for Dave.. He saw the one I made for the 5 inch 1911 and asked for one to fit his 4.25...

So here it is in OD Green.. I don't put loops on the stuff I make for him I let him do it. After all he makes the loops I use...

The Steyr GB Experiment

2009-02-04T17:16:00.005-06:00

So no one makes a trainer to use as a mold for the Steyr GB. So one of the guys over on the Steyr club site asks if a airsoft pistol would work???Well I struck a deal with two members and we set out to find out...

Here are some photos of what they asked for. One a settable cant and one a Bikini II...

The verdict is still out if they work or not. We just have to wait on the mail...

I just heard the results on the settable cant rig..

"Just got mine today, and craftsmanship is exceptional!!!

GB fits perfectly..

Retention is very positive."

Sweet!!! :)

This is what was said about the Bikini II

"Oh its beautiful!!"

"It works well and look wonderful! I just got to get used to the snaps as they are very stiff."

So I guess the airsoft copy is a mold for thr real thing...

The Bikini II

2009-01-08T18:14:00.004-06:00

I thought I would give a low cut bikini another try. This time still with out a screw or eyelet in front of the sight. When I do start selling this will be the one I offer. Super fast draw rides great tight to the body.. So here is the Bikini II....Shown in OD Green with black shark loops from Dave....

O.D Green Paddle

2009-01-05T17:36:00.003-06:00

Dave asked me if I could make a paddle so I gave it a try. Here is my first prototype paddle in O.D. Green. I like it!! It is comfy but does not hide well. It will be great for around the house or anyplace you don't have to hide it....

Another Pancake

2009-01-05T17:32:00.003-06:00

I gave a pancake another try. This time I used a radical cant. I also made it a slide type of rig so I can carry my 5 inch and me 3.5 inch 1911's..Not really my type of holster but it wears great and hides good too..

The Low Rider

2009-01-05T17:12:00.005-06:00

After posting the "Bikini" On DC.com Some folks thought it would look better without the Chicago screw in front of the sight. So I have come up with a newer version... The Low Rider

Bikini for a Glock

2009-01-05T17:02:00.003-06:00

I even made a Bikini for Dave to use in the shop..Of coarse he had to supply his own leather loops... He had to send me a blue gun to use for this project. It was the first time I used a trainer as a mold...

Kdex clips

2009-01-05T16:41:00.002-06:00

Around this time I started to supply Kydex clips for Dave (Little Bear Custom Holsters)
So far I have been making C-J and standard clips for his tuckable holsters. I will soon be making v-clips as well..

A simple bender for a freinds Taurus

2009-01-05T15:58:00.002-06:00

A fellow I work with wanted something to keep his pistol in. Something he could wear out hunting. He was not concerned with concealed carry at all. I tried something different with this one. I left wings for the belt to hold onto.
The results were this thing rides tight up against you!!! I wish I had taken more pic's of this holster..

Biniki for the Steyr

2009-01-05T15:33:00.003-06:00

I liked this holster so much I quickly made one for my Steyr.. Some of these pic's have elephant loops and some are done in shark.. Once again all my leather goods come from Dave at Little Bear Custom Holsters.. I have been happily surprised at how well this type of holster pulls the pistol in close. I can't even describe how fast and smooth the draw is..

The bikini

2009-01-03T19:10:00.004-06:00

I saw this somewhere I don't remember but I thought I would give it a try. I am glad I did!! This has turned into my all time favorite type of holster.. Someone on one of the forums said my pistol was wearing a bikini. So the name stuck I have people ask about the bikini all the time, Seems the biggest concern is that it looks as though the pistol will just fall out. I wear this all the time and have NEVER had any type of issue with it. The retention in in the trigger guard and I can lock the pistol in if I want...The loops are made by my friend Dave.. We will talk more about Dave later on.. In these pic's the loops are done with black shark and one way snaps...

High Ride

2009-01-03T18:40:00.004-06:00

Around this time I picked up a 3.5 inch Rock Island Armory .45 acp. So I then made a high ride holster for it. Not my best but works well. It does tend to want to lean out if I have on a thin belt..

Extreme X-Draw

2009-01-01T20:37:00.003-06:00

This one works great in your car or at your desk..I made it to just clip on and off. You do not have to remove your belt... .63 Kydex in black. I used a little glue also on this one just to make sure.. I do really like this holster..

Another IWB

2009-01-01T20:28:00.003-06:00

This was was a little different for me. It can be worn strong side or as a X-draw holster..I never did use this one much. To me Kydex is to unforgiving for IWB..Some folks like it and I will make what ever people ask for..

My Hybrid

2009-01-01T20:15:00.003-06:00

I have to credit Cross Breed for this design...I don't remember where I got the leather. I do know that the Kydex is .63 and the clips are .93. Once again this is for the Steyr. This is a very comfortable set up. It hides the fat Steyr with ease. I can also tuck in my shirt with this rig and no one has ever spotted it...

My settable cant idea

2009-01-01T19:58:00.003-06:00

I wanted to try and find a simple settable cant design.. This was my first and only attempt at a settable cant holster.. I made this with .93 black Kydex. This thing is so easy to get just the right cant for you... Not a concealment holster tho. I hardly ever use this one...

A bender made with a press

2009-01-01T19:38:00.002-06:00

This was my first bender made with the press I built..It is made of .63 black Kydex. This really is a great holster still wear it a lot even now!! Before I got the sander in my shop I was taking holsters to work to sand on the edge sander..I also started to wet sand the edges at this time. Yes wet sand I find that dry sanding melts the Kydex ..

Now for my first Kydex attempts

2009-01-01T19:18:00.003-06:00

I guess this O.D. Green bender is the first one worth mentioning. I made this out of .125 O.D. Green Kydex with out the help of a press.. At this time I just put it in the oven and tried to get it all done as fast as I could.. Still it is a real stout holster ant fits the Steyr M9-A1 very well...

One last thing from Rich

2009-01-01T11:32:00.003-06:00

I had him make up a IWB double mag holder for my Styer..
I really like the clean bends on his early mag holders...

Rich's Big Taco

2009-01-01T11:20:00.003-06:00

This was the second rig from Rich the BT for short..I had him make it a settable cant type holster.It was during this order while talking to Rich on the phone that he convinced me to give it a try..

Getting my start

2009-01-01T09:31:00.005-06:00

I first found out about Kydex on the Steyr forum.
http://www.steyrclub.com/vb/index.php

After I purchased my Steyr M9-A1 I ordered two holsters and two mag holders from Rich..
http://www.shop.customcarryconcepts.com/main.sc

I ordered a Adjustable Cant IWB Holster from him with to modifications..
