I'm sort of in the same boat with holsters if I put a light on my pistols, I have 2 different pistols I rotate through and the serpas I have don't allow for use with any light, so if I want to ever put a light on, I'll have to make kydex ones with the light I want to use.

As someone who made holsters for a while, there is absolutely a profit on each holster (after materials and hourly wage), but what eats you is the market: Not many people want custom holsters in Canada.


If you have the space available, and about $600 in start up materials/equipment, you can make holsters almost identical to Raven Concealment without too much practice. Personally I found light combos an absolute pain in the ass to make, and never got it right, but standard pistols/knives/shotgun shells are simple and look great.
