How is the retention of the kydex holster on the gun? Any thought to a retention strap of some kind? Any need?
I'm not much of a do-it-yourselfer with Kydex yet. Any chance you'd be willing to custom make one of these for a Ruger LCP with CT laser?
I'm sorry that I don't have enough time to get into holster-making, but I'm certainly willing to answer questions! I suggest doing some knife sheaths first. This will teach you a lot about using Kydex, and there is less danger involved. Remember that a bad holster can be dangerous, especially if it puts pressure on the trigger.
Most of the molding of this holster was done with gloved hands. I recommend a heat gun, because you can re-warm part of a sheath or holster, where a toaster oven pretty much makes you start all over again.
I'll try to post the steps in making the holster, sometime in the next coupla' days.

Thanks. Maybe I will try this with the right instruction. Or if not, might buy the Comp Tac version and retrofit it into a shoulder system.
