I saved a ton of money by just making a neoprene wrap for my cheap holster. A friend named it the Kydex Koozie, and those who have tried it swear by it.

@kenpoprofessor So what is this "Kydex Koozie" you speak of. Pics? Links?

Is it custom fit or is it some type of Frankenstein Holster? Thanks in advance!

I make them myself from 5mm neoprene.

Thanks for this... I might have to dig out the Mrs's sewing machine and try to make something like this. A couple of questions...
1) Do you use a specific type of thread for sewing the neoprene? Google-foo tells me "bonded nylon sewing thread" for neoprene - but anything more specific than that?
2) Is there a "better" neoprene material for this - or is it simply any 5mm neoprene? Yours looks to have an almost terrycloth surface on the outside - looks comfy...

Thanks in advance...

Bonded nylon thread, yes, neoprene needs covering so it can run through the sewing machine, otherwise it gets stuck. You can use 2,3, or 4mm neoprene, more than 5 doubled and it doesn't fit in the machine, so I just went with the thickest I had. I found some 7mm and could only get a few inches into it before it stopped pulling the material and got stuck. And yes, it's quite comfy, most time I forget I have it on me and have to tap my waist to make sure it's there. If you're at RJ's BBQ, I'll show you what I've got in person.
