Where to find Kydex holsters

Post by dnr1128 on Thu Jun 17, 2010 4:32 pm

Anybody know any places in the areas jackson and south that sell Kydex holsters? I'm wanting to try one but I don't know where to go, and I'm not crazy about buying one online without being able to put it on and see how it feels.

Try Vans in Brandon. Out on 468??? Out past Whitfield and the MS law enforcement training academy.

Are you looking for real kydex or something like a fobus? There's a big diffrance. Vans is a good start.

I'll look there next time I'm in Jackson. I've still got a while here at work before I come home.

I've got a bianchi black widow that I LOVE, but of late its gotten a little loose around my Ultrastar, and the thumbstrap won't fit over the hammer unless I have it cocked. I don't really want to carry C&L, but chambered and safety off, since it's DA/SA. I'm going to try stretching the strap out some, since I only need about a quarter inch to snap shut.

At bass pro I found a paddle holster, I think a serpa, that fit it like a glove, but it wasn't nearly as flexible or as comfortable as the leather. On THR a guy recommended Kydex.

@XD whats the diff between "real" kydex and a fobus?

this is a fobus, a com-tac is all one piece and won't break. It'll bend but won't break.

Muy interesante! Fobus markets as being military grade and all that. Sure didn't look all that top quality on the video.
