Making a IWB taco style light bearing holster as an OWB

[@kamakaniolu]

My god that was amazing to watch. You are a master of your craft sir! Beautiful end piece. 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼

[@adrianovergara1784]

This is the best kydex holster making video tutorial I have watched on KZbin. It looks like it was made by a machine. The details were amazing. Great video and thanks for sharing.

[@FalTacUnlimitedLLC]

thank you so much

[@Mohler2A]

Wow! I'd definitely buy one!!

[@FalTacUnlimitedLLC]

wait til you see the vac process on this same set up!

[@billlutz6019]

Good to see someone do their work with some pride. Thank You

[@jsanz787]

Best video I've seen so far. Very thorough

[@nonyabiz2777]

Nice work. I was thinking about making some holsters but after seeing the stuff you do I’ll buy one. Now I don’t mind spending 100 and up for one. Great work.

[@ACEZRWILD1]

awesome craftsmanship. I can tell you love what you do. thanks for sharing

[@tacticalprecisiontrainingl9237]

This was the most comprehensive video I’ve seen on how to make a taco style kydex holster‼️💯 Great job…

[@FalTacUnlimitedLLC]

That's the reason why I started this channel. I've grown a lot since this video but when I first started I couldn't find good tutorials. So I learned the trade and started it myself. Check out the newer videos for updated builds!

[@SingerOfTruth76]

This is the first FalTac video I'd ever seen. Probably 2 months ago. Since then, I've bought a scroll saw, the same sander from Harbor Freight, and Arbor Press, a band saw, and even a motorcycle jack/metal pipes to build a press like yours. I just ordered brown Kydex from holstersmith to try my hand at the holster in this video...since it's the holster that inspired this new obsession!

[@FalTacUnlimitedLLC]

Hell ya man! I wanna see it when your done

[@raulcarlod.botalin400]

Nice finish product, very clean.

[@brettschaszberger2052]

Best kydex how to videos on the internet! I refer to your videos often when making holsters.

[@FalTacUnlimitedLLC]

Watch the hellcat video. You'll have a shout out haha. Uploading shortly

[@Tomindy46203]

Halfway through this video I went to your website and ordered OWB for my XDM 5.25 10MM with Baldr Mini !

[@SSTupperware]

Nice, good info, made a vac former today, have a dagger with a comp and knock off tlr1 I'm going to make one for it. I enjoy making stuff myself, made a hybrid for my bodyguard 2.0 don't even know I have it on.

[@williamwoehl3868]

Dude. You make that look easy ... we all know it's not. Well done and thanks for showing us.

[@FalTacUnlimitedLLC]

Thanks man

[@therealoldwisemonk]

I have watched a lot of these videos now, and yours is my absolute favorite. I really appreciate the extra steps you take for care and quality.

[@WRKH949]

Very well done sir!!! Thank you very much. Very informative and spot on....." that's where my 10mm socket went!" ;)

[@davidprice6462]

Great walk through. You've definitely got that 'maker' mentality, and you know your tools as well as if you go to sleep holding them every night. Although, I'm not sure if anyone has told you this, but you don't have to own a separate drill for every drill bit you have. Figured someone would have mentioned that to you by now. Oh, and I've got $20 that says he knows his way around the kitchen too. If he can man-handle a Dremel tool as easy as an old-timer cutting slices of an apple with his pocketknife, you know he's got skills.

[@FalTacUnlimitedLLC]

I love to cook! And currently redoing my kitchen haha spot on man. I use multiple drills and dremels cause the time it takes to change bits adds up ha

[@mintac3672]

Best build video I've seen to date! Excellent step by step! Building my first light bearing kydex holster this week!

[@FalTacUnlimitedLLC]

Hell ya man!

[@DadHub]

As a dude fed up with a particular company dragging their feet to make a light bearing model for my weapon, you make this look way easy and I'm still way intimidated. I'd only be making a shell for myself, and I've never done it before, but you really help clarify where to block and why. Really appreciate this video!

[@FalTacUnlimitedLLC]

Hell ya man. Let me know how it comes out!

[@DadHub]

@@FalTacUnlimitedLLC Does one need a dummy weapon like that one you used in the vid, or is it safe to use my actual weapon? Along with buying the foam, kydex, hardware and other stuff to make at most 2 holsters, if I have to buy a dummy weapon, it'd be a better financial decision to wait on said company lol.

[@FalTacUnlimitedLLC]

@@DadHub easy to make a holster off a real gun as well. Just a little more blocking has to be done. Ejection port for example

[@DadHub]

@@FalTacUnlimitedLLC Gotcha. Thank you.

[@FalTacUnlimitedLLC]

Very nice work sir not only on the holster but the entire step by step.

[@SuperTgra]

I think it found my missing 10mm socket.

[@Digitallifeconcepts]

What is it that NO one can keep a 10mm socket in the toolbox? I lose them constantly and now just buy one or 2 every time I go to the hardware store, same as #2 Phillips bit for my cordless drill! #10mmsocketconspiracy

[@rebelchild8453]

That’s the one I always loose 😂😂hilarious

[@ethanh3421]

I buy my 10mm and 14mm all in bulk. Thank me later ;)

[@joehunter1936]

10mm is the most used socket in the tool box tie a string to it with a bright peace of tape as a flag at the end

[@joehunter1936]

Do yoy have a muzzle brake on your gun or what's the socket for. Sombody make a 10mm socket muzzle brake 😂

[@dannynimmo3052]

I don't know if you'll like the band saw as much as you think. The scroll saw chatters a bit but looks like you were doing some contored cutting? Maybe you can get the same thin blade on a band saw.? I'm sure you have it figured out. If so I probably need to do the same, I have a doall bandsaw, usually doing straight cuts, its just an optional piece of equipment I have in my machine shop. I'm gonna play around with some kydex, thanks for the info:)

[@FalTacUnlimitedLLC]

I picked up a 1/4 wide 14 tpi blade and I only use the band saw for straight cuts. Much faster and accurate. Scroll is for bends and detail work

[@akilescv]

[@theexpatgunner]

Excellent video and that G-code rig looks awesome 😎

[@madeconomist458]

I saw you drilling through the plate and marking the spots to drill with a white pencil. Might I suggest that instead of marking the spots to drill with a pencil, instead use an automatic center-punch? That way you've already started the drill, the drill bit is much less likely to "drift", and you won't risk marking up your plate.

[@Balsero-qb9gv]

Great tip.

[@dubsbarry9963]

Very nice work!

[@thearmzmen]

Awesome work brother👍👍

[@Kols3n]

I got a question. I hope it’s answerable. Why don’t all holsters with a light have a positive click and or pop and is there a way to fix that?

[@FalTacUnlimitedLLC]

It truly is hard to get an audible click with some lights. It's all in the design of the light and holster blocking itself. The snap consists of the firearm spreading the kydex apart and then snapping in place one the gun is fully inserted. Which gives you the audible click. Most lights bearing holsters are friction retention. So far I've done pretty well with getting those clicks. I've since updated the tooling for this exact set up

[@harrylake9388]

Very impressive! You put a lot of work and brother.

[@MrJtweed]

Hey, thanks!

[@slipagent6]

Just started making my own holsters and in figuring out the details theres some learning curve. The biggest issue Ive had is correcting the spacer for hardware. I have to go back and make it deeper to be sure the posts will clear the slide or light enough to not scratch anything while drawing.

[@FalTacUnlimitedLLC]

Absolutely. Holstersmith.com sells a slew of hardware. You can also get posts at shopdiyholster.com they have super thin ones for just that reason. I use aluminum from home depot

I'm a geek, and loved the work.

[@Dullz.97]

I've asked a few questions before, and I'm back with another 🤣 So I've got an X300u-A and an XH35 (with a thumbscrew) on two identical guns and I'm hoping to make a holster that would be compatible with either one. Have you done this by any chance or would you have any advice? I've tried it but it didn't work out too well. Issue I'm having is with the extra button panel on the bottom of the xh35 and the different mounting patterns. Keen to hear your thoughts

[@FalTacUnlimitedLLC]

The xh35 is wider at the tip of the bezel. Although I haven't personally done one for that light I can tell you it would wiggle in a x300 ua holster since that part is larger. The bottom area can be blocked with a dowel. I did a similar one in a recent video on under light laser blocking. Really not to bad. Just an extra step.

[@Dullz.97]

@FalTacUnlimitedLLC yeah I did notice that part, I figured that with the rest of the holster/light being where it needs to be, I won't notice the wiggle on the bezel. Thanks buddy, will check it out

[@FalTacUnlimitedLLC]

@Dullz.97 it may just work. I would say there would be wiggle in my experience with light bearing
