Randyc Report post Posted March 9, 2008 Last Thursday night I picked up a new KAHR PM45 pistol. I wanted to start carrying this pistol both on/off duty ASAP. My department only holds mandatory firearms qualifications twice a year and requires holstered weapons for the qualification stages. Friday afternoon was range qualifications and I needed to build a holster quickly. I designed and built this holster in just over an hour not including drying time for the dye. The holster itself is a beltslide that rides between my belt and trousers. I made the holster from 2 pieces of 6/7Oz. veg.tan with calf skin lining. The holster is real small and when I remove the weapon, it's hard to tell I'm wearing a holster at all. Next, I'm building a pocket holster for the Kahr.

Jordan Report post Posted March 10, 2008 Very nice, is it an interpitation of a Yaqui Slide style? At least thats what I think they are called. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Randyc Report post Posted March 10, 2008 Thanks for the kind words guys. Jordan The Yaqui slide secures the pistol with tension screws and rides outside the belt. A traditional belt slide holster also rides outside the belt. My design rides inside the belt with retention controlled by belt tension. I'm sure I'm not the first one to come up with that design. After building the holster, I discovered that my Makarov and Glock 23 also fit in this holster. Randy Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
