Frequently Asked Questions

How is a custom holster made for a firearm with a thumb clip?

To make a custom holster for a firearm with a thumb clip, the holster maker must first mold the Kydex to the firearm. Crucially, a specific channel is then created within the holster's design to accommodate the thumb clip, ensuring the firearm can be inserted and drawn smoothly without interference.

What materials are used in this custom CZ P10C holster build?

This custom holster for the CZ P10C features a Multicam Black Cordura fabric overlay on the exterior, providing durability and a distinctive look. The interior is lined with Gold Kydex, chosen for its aesthetic appeal and ability to hold a precise mold of the firearm.

What is the purpose of the channel in a holster designed for a thumb clip?

The channel in a holster designed for a thumb clip serves as a dedicated pathway. It ensures that the thumb clip, which extends from the firearm or holster, can clear the holster's body during insertion and drawing, preventing snags and allowing for a fluid motion.

How is adjustable retention achieved on a custom Kydex holster?

Adjustable retention on a custom Kydex holster is typically achieved through the use of retention screws. These screws can be tightened or loosened to increase or decrease the pressure exerted by the Kydex on the firearm, allowing the user to customize how securely the gun is held.
