Has anyone here uses Kydex Holster service on Yadkin? Thoughts?

I want to get an IWB for MP .40 and a horizontal belt carry per SouthNarc recommendation for a Benchmade Nimravus. I'd like to know if folks here have had solid experience with decent pricing

I went to his shop at the backroom of motorsports few days back. Seems very legit with tons of prototype and he got blue guns almost of all make/model for fitting. Saw a bunch SF crest logos on the holsters which he said were mostly retirees orders. All kind of attachment option to i.e.. TekLok. He builts kydex holster for just about anything the customer ask, knives, pistol, flashlight, zippo, kittens, etc. He's not stingy with sharing knowledge either with instructional videos on youtube. A very fascinating DIY project for sure, but I don't have the room or time or interest to spend $$$ on the tools

I guess I'll just have to get one made, then do a review here. Standy by...

As promised, got a sheath made for the Benchmade Nimravus. As you could see on the picture, no printing at all. The cant allows easier draw as well as longer knife to be carried. All the rivetings, screws, and attachment are solid. I tried carrying it with handle down and the knife is not going anywhere until a strong pull with or without a thumb push is applied.

I wanted a thinner belt attachment, right there and then John remade another custom one for me. I also tested a few gun holster for M&P and Kimber custom. They all have solid retention with smooth draw. It was a pleasure dealing with him. I sure like to support local business with proven craftsmanship.

John is a true custom kydex sheath maker, that means whatever you desire in respect to size, angle, cant, IWB, belt attachment, material, Tek-Lok, anything. Tell him your needs and specs, and he will work it out. He told me his website should be fully operation within days complete with online order etc.
