Simple little XDm IWB for a big fella

[plinkercases]

Made for a big friend who specifically wanted the toe wide open for some reason...

I used metal strapping between the layers to reinforce the opening so it would collapse... big fella remember... and that did the trick.

Made for his airsoft and worn during milsim action he told me it was the most comfortable he had ever worn so that worked well.

EDIT - like the DW post I may have shared this a while ago but was cruising my file sand thought I would see if it stuck to the wall.

Nice, I'm a big fella, looking for a good iwb holster for my xdm hehe. Where does he wear it? I'm a 4-5o clock guy myself. 

[plinkercases]

Yes actually 4-5 was his position. I can scan the templates if you wish. Although its pretty straight forward from the pics.

No sense in going through the trouble haha. I can make the pattern just fine. Where did you get strapping for the stiffener?

Also, I've only made open holsters, what's the benefit to a closed toe?

[plinkercases]

In this case essentially he wanted mote leather and opening  than needed for the XDm so he could shove a longer pistol in there... not necessarily that he didnt want it close.

For an IWB I believe a little longer and open toe is more comfortable specially with the square stibby poly guns...

OWB I think its a matter of style/design and function... i dont think a feild holster should have an open toe for instance. Just me. That might be a good question for a nrw thread and hear from some of the other more experienced makets.

That's a good idea. I may have to ask that lol
