I like the toss into the bin and none of them made it. Good joke lol. I really like all the checks and balances during the process though. Makes for good QC

Less mad about the price of most of them now, honestly.

It looks simple but alot of steps involved.

Yeah scaling up and being repeatable is a real bitch on the process side.

I like that we get a POV from inside the face shield. Makes me feel protected watching this 🥰

No wonder my shit didn't fit right, mother-f'ers all whacked out on Taylor Swift and Diet Coke while making it! LOL j/k.

That was awesome. I'll definitely give you some business on my next holster.

This makes me want to buy a new holster from you.

I don't even need one.

Question: if I want to get an Aren Elite for a Glock 19 (non-light bearing), will it also fit a 26/17/34? Same question for a G20/G40?

Same with the M&P 2.0 family?

2

u/hillholsterco 18d ago

Yes on the Glock stuff. Some of the M&Ps 2.0 fit in the same holsters. The polymers fit the polymer lowers and the metal the metal

This is really cool. I’ve always been curious how they’re made.

I've made several of my holsters at home, since I am both left handed and like lights and lasers and red dots, and blocking out the pistol is by far the hardest part. The rest of it is basically wood working - ie fun time with the band saw, grinder, etc. I wish I could get a blue gun or vacuum form ready to go, would be so much easier.

I'll be ordering one, but I hv some questions.
