Just ordered a Kydex Holster for Springfield 1911

[JJEH]

Guys,

I was reading so much about these Kydex things and got very curious... alot of people actually say they are good. Well, today I orderd a holster as well as a double mag pouch for my Springfield. Of course in carbon fiber look, to match the grips, like this one

Will let you know when it arrives, his turn around time is about one week he says after recieving payment.

Nervous about what? Overall Kydex holsters are great. Im using one right now and have been for a while. They are durable, unless you plan to run it over with a car. If youre worried about holster wear dont. 1st there is nothing wrong with honest wear. 2nd, It will happen in any holster.

Well, I'm excited not nervous.

But indeed, I do was worried about wear... but heck... it's not a collector.

The holster arrived yesterday. I really like it, looks good and holds weapon as well as magazines tight.

That looks real nice.

I think kydex wears great. I use it almost exclusively iwb for it's moisture resistance capabilities.

Holster do tend to put some wear on guns depending on how many times you load and unload it.

With kydex, I do think it is a good idea to wash out the inside of holster with water occasionally as it seems to be a dust/lint collector and think that kind of debris could cause some (extra?) wear, too.

Enjoy.

Thank's, i'm struggeling with sick kids right now
but have a thought about what to do.
Have started cuting the base for my holster.

It won't be pretty, but it sure will be original
