Obviously, my craftsmanship will ultimately determine how well protected my pistol is. As a pretty handy person, I'm not too concerned about this.
On a more general note, how well do Kydex holsters retain and protect the pistols?
I make kydex holsters for real steel pistols. Unless you already have

- toaster oven
- drill press
- rivet press (including die and set)
- belt sander
- scroll saw or coping saw
- book press (or the materials to make one)

then it's going to cost you well over $100 to produce one.
