DIY Home made IWB holsters, kydex/leather hybrid

[Jerneedog]

Great thread here. I've been looking for a lower price IWB holster like this. I may have to give the Cleveland Holster a try? Thank you for this thread.

I have one of cleveland's holsters. I have nothing but great things to say about it. Well, one thing, I need bigger pants!! I guess the gun added too much to my SLIM waistline!! Seriously, I am completely pleased with the holster. My jeans are a bit tight wearing it, but they were a bit tight to begin with. I will just add one inch to my waist size next time I purchase jeans. I wear the holster with shorts and I actually don't notice the gun there except for the pressure of it, and that is very minimal. I have not tried the crossbreed, mainly due to economics. I do plan to buy one and compare them to clevlands. Bobby was very informative, very helpful and very prompt. Give one a try, for the dollars, I think you will be very satisfied. I am.

But you have the right idea and you obviously ARE a clever type...LOL

Since this thread was brought back up, here is what they currently look like:



I flipped the kydex over, that cuts down on holster wear. I removed the kydex from under the trigger guard so you don't scrape your finger when you grab the pistol. I now also offer a cut version and a horsehide option too.

Just because I am making them for sale now doesn't mean I wont help you with your project if you need help. I learned from a member right here on this board and would be happy to share the info!

I've had my Cleveland's Holster for about 2 months now and it is doing well. It's
comfortable to wear and durable. I bought the horse hide and couldn't be more
happier with the whole holster. When I get a new carry gun, I will definitely purchase another holster from Bobby! Thanks Bobby!

Good job!


You could also sell your pattern to others with a "How To" instructional sheeting...
Or even sell the complete kit and allow the customer to complete it themselves.

Where did you get your belt clips.
