The more I look at that the more I like the hardware...different, catchy.

Lol, don't forget cheap and easy! I spent a good chunk of the day cleaning the "miscellaneous buckets" of loose hardware in the garage though because I got annoyed with the build up I saw when looking for those.

You'd freak if you saw my gun room. It's so disorganized took me about 2/3 weeks to finally find a couple boxes of cartridges that went to @hunter966

I do a yearly inventory and this year sucks because I skipped last year and I forgot how many new toys I got that I didn't bother writing down.

Had a chance to get a Bradford Guardian 3 for like, 95 percent off the other day but it came without a sheath. Got a bit bored yesterday and decided to make one for the first time ever.

Had I had proper materials I think I'd have come out nicer but I didn't really have the eyelets, so I rolled with nuts and screws for now. Had to bake and re bake twice to get it to line up right. Overall it'll do what I want and was a fun learning project. I've since ordered some things to have on hand for next time I get motivated for some others that need sheaths.

I haven't messed with Kydex in awhile. The last project was for a 1911 in clear Kydex for USPSA competitions. It cracked on me after a couple of weekends. I was warned that was a possibility before starting the job but went ahead and did it.
I still have it, the cracks are small, but it's cool as hell looking.
Wondering if the new "clear" has improved.

I suppose little need for it since I built it a spot in the fun box setup but it'd be good to have it so I might put a clip there for attaching to sun visor or console bins or something.

That might not be the best idea ever—I left a knife in a Kydex sheath above the visor in my truck on a hot summer day and it loosened up noticeably. Fortunately, it had a tension adjustment screw, but I had to crank it down more than I’d like.

Screw it man, looks good.

Okay, that's a fair point. Guess I might eventually have to try leather too.
