    Milk Jug J-frame holster

    I've seen some obscure reference to @GJM having such a thing and maybe I found a pic (but cannot find it now). I was intrigued by the idea and made such a thing while waiting for my DSG and Mika holsters to come in. After receiving both of them, it turns out I like the Milk Jug holster better than both. Here are some pics of what I'm using. The black tape is Gorilla Duct-ish tape. I like it because it adds minimal bulk (compared to the Mika especially) and covers the trigger. The tape also has the added effect of grabbing the inside of the pocket and retaining the holster on the draw.

    Thoughts? Good idea or bad idea? Improvements?

    I think it would work better if the plastic extended down from the trigger guard to the end of the barrel to make it more stable in the pocket.
    Otherwise looks good.

    This. Shape the bottom of the holster to conform to the bottom of your pocket. Then staple the sides together and cover the staples and edges with tape

    I like them. No commercial pocket holster works better for me. Because the material is basically free, it’s a simple matter to get them just the way you want them.

    Also this ^^^^ - but I would like to add that the staples you use MUST be heavy duty. Ask me how I know.

    I just hope you guys are being mindful of the expiration dates.

    (For the record, I think they're very cool. I've been impressed by them since I first saw one here made by @SteveB)

    I am considering making one of these for my P365 to use in my Hill People kit bag. How is retention, would it slide out while in the kit bag? Have you ever used heat and try to mold them in any way? How about using a thicker material like from a laundry detergent jug? I have thought about using my Food Saver as a vacuum mold and maybe heating the plastic in boiling water.? Thanks and sorry for so many questions.

    Diggin this thread. Also wonder if RIT dye would dye so you could get a solid color. Adhesive vs. Duct tape. I also wonder if it would mold well to a liittle heat. I think I am gonna try this. Very cool idea OP.

    I think there is a point where you have to look at return on investment. Once to a point you lose the simplicity of the design and it may be easier to order kydex.

    I have used a vacuum sealer effectively to mold kydex "stuff". One caveat, in order to get really crisp lines/detail I've found a little manual help while under vacuum works wonders. Bonus to using vacuum sealer is just sealing the end of your bag and it'll stay tight until your material cools.
