I would do it with a more expensive piece that was unique to the holster it attaches to. When we made the Dark Wing, while it wasn't the largest investment, sales of the wing to other holster makers helped make that happen. An IM component unique to our products wasn't as financially feasible then. It is now though, so... What do you carry?

Indeed. Which is not a knock on kydex or plastic products. An SME is 8000% overkill for a J-Frame. A DSG Apollo on the other hand is perfect.
I think the long and short (and I know I'm preaching to the choir) is that not only does each user have a preference, each firearm is different in terms of its weight distribution, COG, length, width, etc. It is all but impossible to make the perfect holster for every potential setup.
Which, ostensibly, is the goal of this additive manufactured RCS rig, that they can rapidly tailor holsters to meet differing demands. Only time and end user experience will determine if they are successful in that regard.

So kydex SME when?
This is a pretty interesting concept. Thread drift, but can you go into more depth about the differences between the trailing lever on the SME vs the trailing lever on Kydex wing based holsters? Both are the same type of lever to my eye, is the difference that the SME lever can be longer than a darkwing/modwing without the risk of the wing cracking the holster body?
Correct. The other thing the SME does that people mess up with when using plastic is the backside of the lever rests against the body, preventing over-rotation.
DSG, being in a different position, and technology being different and more affordable, can now try an idea we had years ago but couldn't reliable market. I've got a boatload on my plate, and this isn't a discussion thread for DSG stuff, so anyone who's interested pester me and I'll work a thing up to try.
