Contributing Member TwinOaks Posted October 8, 2009 Contributing Member Report Posted October 8, 2009 (edited) For the Kydex trigger lock, I designed one by molding a strip of Kydex to a 1/8th tsp measuring spoon to make a 'hump'. Then I put a bit of an angle on it to provide a positive lock on the trigger guard. It was fully internal, and attached via rivets. I think the downside to the one I made is that it was a dual gun holster. I had a bluegun to mold from, but only on one gun (HK compact vs. a Sig 229). The problem is that the trigger guards aren't exactly the same and the lock was too strong on one of them. It caused some hinging at the closest rivet, and eventually broke the kydex. Lesson: keep enough kydex intact to compensate for "oops".Back to tight holsters: Other than the bag or wax paper method, you can also spray down the inside of a holster with one of the 'dry lube'sprays. My personal choice is Rem-Dry, because I also use it on firearms. It 'moistens' the leather with a solvent and leaves behind a teflon based film which slicks up holsters very well.Monica, you're gonna have to tell me how you managed to get the spacing between the lines like you did. I tried that to separate the headings and when I posted, it all got jammed up together. P.S. It did it here too.

Contributing Member TwinOaks Posted October 8, 2009 Contributing Member Report Posted October 8, 2009 I guess it's on my end....BTW, I like the idea of using the waxed paper. I'll have to try that on the next one. Quote Mike DeLoach Esse Quam Videri (Be rather than Seem) "Don't learn the tricks of the trade.....Learn the trade."
