Ummm.........nevermind.

Yeah.............

Congratulations on your choice of the SR40c and I applaud your ingenuity. However, as I'll bet you've already discovered, the makeshift holster amounts to false economy at best and an incredible safey hazard and potental liability at worst.
It is a way to cover the gun in your pocket and nothing more. It is certainly too flimsy for an an OWB holster. I doubt it would make it through the day without dropping the gun on the floor. It looks totally impractical for IWB as well. You have too much invested in a quality gun to cheapen the owner experience now.

I'm telling you this as a concerned fellow shooter. Good luck and God Bless.

Hi TurboHonda. I played with my home-made holster all day on my shooting range on my property. I used it as a pocket holster and IWB holster. Actually, it's quite serviceable for those chores. But I never intended to actually use it for real carry. I'm just experimenting to determine which type of carry I prefer. Then I'll buy a decent holster. Right now, I'm kind of favoring pocket carry.

Guess it's just a pad for your trouser mouse...........

Lol. My ex made holsters at home, all different kinds, made of leather and yes a couple of his earlier holsters with mouse pads. In the end he mainly ended up using Remora's for IWB and for pocket carry.

I'm betting that you will settle on IWB carry, if you stick with the idea of 24-7 carry (most don't).

If you want to make your own, Old Faithful Holsters sells a kit for a hybrid (leather & kydex) for about $40 delivered. All you have to do is trim the pre-formed kydex, drill some holes, screw it all together and sand the rough edges of the kydex. This gives you the same design and materials as a Crossbreed, which sells for about $80 delivered. I just put one together for my XDs, and I like it.

Ok, now that seems reasonable.
