So I sat down and did the costs of me buying all the gear I want, and then sat down and did the costs of me just getting the material. And well material won out, I have a couple pictures of some of the gear I've made.
I have two peices that turned out great and one that was so-so. First up is the holster for my Hi-Cappa;
The strap is adjustable and the holster will fit just about any pistol I have. The only one it doesn't fit is my P99, but thats cause it has a huge RAS on it, otherwise it fits just fine.
One thing to note on the holster was I intended to sewing strips of webbing on it to do a MOLLE design, but I rang out of Coyote brown webbing and thought I'd leave the black webbing off.
Next I just finished this in the wee hours of the morning. My dump pouch, its surprising turned out really well. And it can hold quite a few mags, I can drop all 8 of my MP5 mags in with out having to shove one. Now I am limited at the moment on M16 mags but when I stuck the four I have there looks ample room to get another 4 in there. However my AK mags just take up so much damn space, with the four I have in there, I'd maybe get two more in before I am jamming them in with a hammer.
there are two strips on the back to use ALICE clips to mount it to my molle. I am working on making some molle straps for it at the moment.
Next is my not so well peice.
The thing that is noticed right away, YES that's black thread. I ran out of thread and was having such a pain with this one that I wanted to keep going, so I slapped on a spool of black just to get it finished. That flap for the mag pouch needs to be taken off and a new one put on that is longer for the magazine. Again the strap is adjustable and I could put other pistols in this holster. This was designed to hold my G26C, the back up to the back up. And yes there will be a back up to the back up OF the back up.
