So in order to be properly prepared for 12-21-12 ;) and to have a wide variety of options (and to kill time on a snowy weekend), I have completed my greatest kydex holster "system" to date.

I was able to get two safariland holsters with a hood off ebay ($10 per holster, $10 shipping, +$3 for every extra holster--I ordered two). And using a sherpa thigh rig airsoft knock off (which the quality is just as good) from China or Korea or somewhere over there.
I did modify the straps on the drop holster to go from a two point to a single point and removed the the elastic webbing for static webbing.
The first set is the clean gun and the second is one with a light. FNX-9 (w/ TLR-1--which normally resides on the Mossberg HD SG)


I usually carry safety off, hammer down but made it so you can carry cocked/locked if you desired.
There is a spare mag holster hanging off the front of it

The holster with the light has two retention adjustment screws and the clean version has one.

Anyway, here it is:

Note: holster is hanging to low. I was taking it on/off a lot for testing. I may actually remove the top strap and just use the lower one only

I also have another RTI wheel and plan on making a regular belt holster. I also plan on making a holster for more three gun style-no hood, slide only has 2-3 inches of cover and rest cut away.


Zombies beware.....
Time for pizza!

Going for a mag on your leg seems like a reach to me.

a bit- the photo with it on my leg is really low. I was taking it on/off a lot for testing purposes. I will probably remove the uppers strap so it rides higher. Plus what else you going to do with scrap kydex and 50 cents worth of rivets and chicago screws?

Well, finished the last version. Thought I would share it in case someone else was interested in giving it a try.
Anyway, it will eventually go on a belt with an RTI wheel but I don't have it yet so just using the drop holster for picture purposes.
It's a faster/competition style type.

Not if you're right handed on the mag is on the left (wrong) side ;)
you have reach across the body to grab it
