It came out better than I thought, considering this is my first try ever at a holster. The gun wasn't quite centered for the taco molding process, but regardless, the retention on it is phenomenal. Because of its shape, it ends up sitting quite comfortably. Not bad for $6 in parts. For molding tools, I just used what I had laying around: an oven, two c-clamps, some extra neoprene foam sheets I have laying around, a couple punching mitts (because I didn't have enough neoprene), and a couple pieces of plywood. I sourced the clip and screw hardware from a deadbeat holster I had laying around. I think I may very well try making a holster for my LC9s once I get some more kydex.

Re: Show your DIY Ideas and Projects
I just got myself a Rex Zero 1 compact, and of course, there are no holsters for them readily available. Whatever few vendors who offer them are all made-to-order. So I ended up ordering a custom leather holster. But since it will take 1-2 months to finish, I decided to attempt an IWB tuckable kydex holster for it so I can at least carry it in the interim.
