After picking up a new pistol for bear protection while backcountry western hunting (Smith & Wesson 329PD 44 Mag) I soon realized there really wasn’t a good option for pack holsters. Well at least for my liking. I tried talking to a couple companies to see if they could make me a one off holster but nobody had a pistol blank to build off of and they were already backed up on other work. Knowing this and having a September hunt closely knocking on my door I knew I would have to come up with something on my own. I sourced many different YouTube videos to come up with exactly what I wanted and how I would go about doing it. It was a slow tedious project but in the end worked out flawlessly and proved to be very rewarding. Know that I’ve been exposed to kydex I look forward to utilizing it on future projects.
