Current projects

Post by **Bama** » Sat Feb 28, 2015 10:36 pm

Currently I am not taking any more orders due to having two large projects on the bench. I will be forming my first light bearing holsters, finally getting the owb design figured out, and recreating a holster setup that is apparently no longer made.
Sneak peek:

Honestly, I'm excited and nervous and anxious all at the same time. Stay tuned...

Wow, that looks exactly like my APL !

Make sure your OWB are fairly skim in design too many people make the massive square holsters. Shape should be more like a shovel head if it can be.

Can't wait for light bearing holsters

Yup, I try to make every holster as minimalistic (is that even a word?) as possible. I have a design to test, but want to make the traditional "pancake" style first.

Wife got out of OT early tonight so I get a few minutes in the garage. I am prepping the 2 molds above and making test holsters to check for fitment. P320 has the kydex cooling so I can cut it out tomorrow. VP9 is needing hardware holes drilled and hardware installed. Hoping to test at LGS tomorrow. Here is what the vp9 looks like....

Just the looks of the holster alone makes me want a vp9 even more.

The VP9 fit perfectly. And I mean perfectly. I have never heard a click so crisp in a holster.

That's because the VP9 is the best striker fired pistol made.

Big update:
Well first my belt sander gave up the ghost tonight, so tomorrow I hope to find one in town.

Anyways, the first Commonwealth Kydex OWB has been born. This one isn't perfect to go out to the customer, however is does tell me what changes I need to make and then it's on like donkey kong. Without further ado,

I want to thank everyone for their patience. I'm working on these projects as much as I can, with having a day job and a growing toddler.

OWB design is complete and I will now start producing more. Have one more standard OWB to make for the p320. Then one for the p320 with tlr1.
Happy dance
