Made an IWB kydex holster

Made this today. For my new sub compact xd in .40.

I started by hand forming the kydex to the gun. Then trimming to fit.





Cutting tool. Also used tin snips and sandpaper.

This is the first one I've ever made. I used crossbreed clips for now.

Looks good.

Only major issue I see with it is around the trigger guard. With as high as it wraps, you won't be able to get a solid grip on the pistol. Cutting it along the edge of the trigger guard to about the half-way point, would allow you a full grip when you have to draw.
