Wow this stuff is so easy to work with . used a press made from a kneeling mat glued to 2x6 and two clamps. Thanks to owning an alien gear 2.0 ( anyone who owns one understands) I have a ton of hardware . I made these with like 5 dollars work of plastic .

The CZ shifted in the press ,you can see a wrinkle ,the cant is too much and the trigger isn't covered enough. I plan on redoing it when I get a chance .

I'm sure I could . you should try it out yourself watch a few videos and give it a shot ,kydex sheets are cheap and a leatherman sheath should be pretty simple.

The best part is that if you screw it up, a minute back in the oven and you can start from scratch again/

Kydex is fun. I even made a ''steampunk ' halloween costume out of it in 2015.

A yes, the late 90s special. Batman & Robin / Wild Wild West crossover.

Also, does your dick belt fed or something that you have ammo going into your pants? <insert shooting blanks joke>

Yeah , we didn't exactly collaborate, but I certainly wasn't going to complain about a beautiful woman wearing a tight pleather costume at my side.

I feel super weird about telling you to look closer at my crotch .. but if you do you'll see the bullet belt is twisted up to belt line, and is not in fact coming out of my pants. (but I know it looks like that..I know)

Ah I see what you mean now. I still think you should go with "my dick is a cannon" when explaining how bold the costume was. Makes for a better story.

The more you work with it the easier it gets. If you ever have any questions about it or tools for kydex I'd be happy to help you.
