I’m interested in trying my hand at making a holster or 3. Is there a local (South Denver metro) source for Kydex sheet? What about the hollow rivets and belt clips?

Thanks.

I'm not sure. But what thickness are you looking for?

You can get the rivets and belt clips at Tandy Leather.

When I made my holster I got the kydex pre-formed for my Glock 22 from White Hat Holsters. It was like $10. Then I cut it out and riveted it to a piece of leather.

Except my holster ended up looking like this http://www.ar-15.co/threads/103615-Suitcase. (http://www.ar-15.co/threads/103615-Suitcase)Totally unsuitable for concealed carry.

Thought I would try both 0.060 & 0.080. Saw YouTube videos for both...

Thanks for the links!

I pretty much get everything from them but the chicago screws (although the ones they have aren't bad)

I'm a DIYer only but have made a few: http://www.ar-15.co/threads/74891-My-greatest-kydex-attempt-ever?highlight=Kydex
