Well, after reading the how-to and seeing what other people have done I took the leap. Bought Kydex and chicago screws from Knifekits.com and they showed up 3 days later. 1 sheet 12x24inches gave me, 3 .22LR mag carriers, S&W 22a holster, 3 USPc mag carriers and for fun flared mag well for S&W 22a plus mag base extensions.
All the mag carriers were cut to angle the mags about 18* backward.
I am aware that I used the shiny side of the kydex for the outside on the mag carriers. That was not a mistake, I chose that side to show.
The holster was also not pressed for the vacuum look. Just folded over and edged with a solid metal tool. Sanding is a pain in the butt, I did it all by hand. Only power tool used for the whole operation was a drill. Even cut the kydex with metal snips.
I have a new appreciation for what Comp-Tac delivers when you order a holster or mag carrier from them.
While they are not THAT pretty. They get the job done at the range with fast reload drills.
