Kydex holster for .45

The project I started last night was to make a second holster for my HK USP Expert.  Though HK USP's are some of the best pistols out there with plenty of aftermarket accessories, there is hardly any products available for the Expert due to its longer slide.  To start I contacted G-Code/Edge Works out of Jacksonville NC who is a holster mfg. for some cool adaptability parts.  G-Code has this neat little product called an RTI wheel which can be mounted almost anywhere to establish a holster mounting platform.  You'll notice the black disk and the aluminum mounting plate.  So I bought an RTI wheel mounted on a hip paddle and an extra wheel to mount in a vehicle.  With the parts, Kydex, and some imagination it was time to start fabbing.

The piece of wood is cut the establish a base in the mold for the aluminum RTI adapter along with being machined on the bottom side to allow room in the tight fitting holster for the slide release and safety to travel freely.
