Update, I trimmed out around the mag release and heated up around the ejection port to release most of it out.


Thanks for the help guys!

Anyone here use the vacuum bag method of forming? Saw a few versions that other people had made using heavy duty vacuum bags and a shop vac. Seemed to get a very good detailed form to the holster and less chance of deforming a gun under heavy foam press pressure.

Here is my 1st attempt at pressing...







Not perfect I know, but for a 1st its ok... Still need to bend/curve the winds in to fit the body some...

I've been reading and watching for a few weeks and thought I'd give it a try...

I really enjoy this and can't wait to make something else...

Wow, 6 years and 67 pages later... I had no idea this would garner such attention and response. You guys making stuff now looks amazing! Puts my original post holster to shame!

The students have become the teacher!

Awesome work fellas!
