3D Printed Holsters: Fad or the Future? | American Handgunner Insider
On this episode of American Handgunner Insider, Editor Tom McHale explores new holster technology emerging in the market - 3D printed holsters. These aren't your home 3D printer trinkets. Early samples are rock solid and appear every bit as durable as traditionally manufactured Kydex versions. Only time will tell if this emerging tech solves the problem of finding elusive holsters to fit all the gun and accessory combinations.

How To Keep Your Gunsmith Happy! - GMP #227
I have a Blackhawk new model and been having trouble with the cylinder pin popping out after each shot does anyone have any idea what might be causing this?
Cannon
Now show us six rounds of .44 mag
Great timing, Massachusetts just passed more gun laws , one is concerning printing gun parts and guns….more wonderful restrictions ,,,,,we must need them.
A friend of my grandparent who when they were in the Bundeswehr was given the task to restore an old Belgian or French handgun his officer (or other person directly above him, I don't know the hierarchy) had found preserved in oil. The wooden parts were rotten away but otherwise the gun was perfectly preserved.
That is pretty cool sir
Do iy
That is way more than pretty cool. I would have to say that's freaking awesome hahaha OMG what a find😮
I would love to find one.
It very much the future. One could laser scan most any gun and accessory combination, and then manufacture the appropriate holster.
Wait until you find out about home made barrels with 3D printing lol.
I've seen the 3D printed titanium suppressors. Amazing. Roy
This is something different, something you can do at home. Granted the concept really only works with .22lr at the moment, but what may be possible with future technology the possibilities are endless. I've even been casting some of my own parts using 3D printing and "lost wax casting". They sell spools of material that burns out similar to the lost wax method.
Im sure that sample is some kind of carbon fiber nylon. Looks too rigid for carbon fiber PET/PEG. They probably do some kind of annealing too after printing, and Im sure they are using an industrial grade printer with heated chamber for better layer adhesion.
Heh, if you only knew. These things have been in development for years. I have a few early versions myself. Carbon fiber nylon is the way to go for holsters. Another great option is 3D printing your base model for kydex vacuum forming holsters.
Indeed. I've toured some factories in the industry and they virtually all use 3D modeling with lasers, then import that into their CAD programs, then export that to their CNCs or 3D printers. Ain't like the old days! Roy
I have a 1873 single action from my great grandfather. US Colt😊😊😊
Oh lord, that's wonderful! Roy
I really don't think that was a very good analogy but I do like your video clips
Appreciate your kind words sir. Roy
@@fmgpubs it tickles my heart that people of your stature still do exist 👍
Lucky
BEYOND KOOL!.. WHAT A FIND JEALOUS..
That's cool old gun slinger
Is it caliber / shell specific?
I agree it has possibilities. The biggest hold for it is the cost of the printer and possibly the cost to buy or "rent" the program to print the item.
Well, the darn 3D printers are as cheap as $150 these days. And you can find the programs online, often for free now. Amazing. Roy
I served in the Marines and am in love with my 1911. It took me until I was 40 years old to appreciate a quality revolver. There's a tool for every job.
I love 'em both, Greg. Roy
hey that is pretty cool
That is terrifying
It does seem dangerous but it's not. Honest. Roy
If that gun could talk oh the story it could tell
Thats crazy that the muzzle was worn down like that from a holster, I just know that thing got a lot of love and use
Lots of use is right! Roy
Sounds like "flash sight picture"
Something like that, I agree. Roy
It probably would still fire without the barrel exploding. It's an amazing firearm, but it would be phenomenal if it had provenance, a back ground story, the gun and it's true history and story make an antique firearm something incredibly interesting and extra special. It's still an extraordinary find and the experience of finding a treasure like would've been a marvelous moment! Great stuff!
I snapped a few primed cases and it works. I had restored the action when I got it (it was badly out of time and needed work), and tested it with the primed cases. It's a 44-40. But I just don't want to risk live ammo. Roy
@@fmgpubs Definitely a prudent decision. It would be an absolute tragedy if a damaging malfunction occurred, certainly not worth the risk of losing an amazing piece of tangible history you can hold in your hands and cherish. It's The age and the heritage of the gun is epic, and the sheer amount of wear on the barrel it testament enough that it was most certainly carried and and used and from an incredible period in the history of time and the wild west frontier. It's more than earnt a peaceful retirement ( and I bet it could still fire a live round if for some reason it found itself in service again, and that thoughts good enough for me, absolutely no need to for any proving! Thank you for sharing your wonderful treasure, 🤝🏼
25 to 30 years ago I used to know some of the guys that worked at Caspian.They turned out a nice product back then, and I don't have any reason to believe that they haven't done anything but gotten better!
They have gotten even better. Perhaps you knew Gary Smith? He retired but he was such a gent. Roy
I think if they get the combination right for materials, this is the future. Holster makers would also benefit because they can "print" on demand for whatever handgun is selling hot at the time. and this also works for firearm and attachment problems. Good article Tom.
Manufacturers are already using 3D laser scanning to scan a new gun. Then that info goes right into a CAD machine to design the holster. Then to the 3d Printer for prototypes. Roy
Neat
Will they make me a 357 cal. 1911.....😊
That would require a special grip frame if you wanted a .357 Magnum. You can chamber one in .357 SIG though. Roy
Looks like the front sight was filed down too. Dude was a real gunslinger.
Nice. I will stick to my redhawk
Nothing wrong with that either. I've had several. Roy
Yes, that would be great ....
😮 Beautiful
This will not only help with hard to fit gun/light/sight combos, but it will also eventually lower the cost of the holsters by allowing makers to avoid having to stock hundreds of models of guns to make the holster. I can anticipate that they will come up with materials that have a slight bit of stretch, making the holster act like leather. With laser modelling you will likely be able to take a picture of your gun and send it to the manufacture and they can custom print your holster to your exact specifications.
How nice it would be to not have to have an inventory of holsters, simply print out one as they get ordered. Roy
1873-2024
Yeah, you ought to do a video on that. That would be really good because that particular model would be interesting. How you adjusted the timing ..
Will do Nicholas. Most of the time you can adjust timing by stoning the two points on the hand that operates the cylinder rotation. I'll show it. Roy
This will really help with generic imported lights & accessories attached to fit right. Universal fit is not Universal fit. Good info! 👍🙏
I've not had great success with Universal fit either... I do prefer carry holsters be able to pass the "shake upside down" test (with an empty gun!) - TM
@@fmgpubsAbsolutely because if it won't stay empty it won't be secure with anywhere from 8 to 20 - on average - little friends along for the ride. Especially if little friends are 147gr & up 👍.
Looking forward to more selection for less common handguns and light/gun combos. It HAS been a pain to deal with.
This seems like a excellent solution for hard to find holsters.
That is VERY cool!
Would a S&W 686+ with 3 inch barrel count as a snubbie? I have some autos in 45 and 9mm that I have carried, but now it a Ruger LCR as my everyday. I like the fact that it's light and easy to carry, and above all it's reliable.
Well, that's a pretty big gun, but I'd call it whatever you want to call it! Roy
Almost thought you were joking at first or going senile 😂 amazing condition!
One of the advantages of Arizona or the high desert. Roy
About the .44 recoil in a break action rifle - my son had a break action in .45-70: ouch.
I know ... ouch is right. A .44 Mag in a lever can kick too. Roy
Yep and the prices went out of most people's reach just like automobiles I bought a marlin payed 4 or 5 hundred new now its 900 to 1000 dollars a rip off and it's not just marlin any lever gun is outrageous in prices
Please make a video on this pistol....For the rest of us.
Was that 44 special out of that?
I load a modest 900 fps load using a hard cast 240 gr. SWC. It still thumps nicely but doesn't beat me or the gun up. Roy
That Revolver probably belonged to John Marston if the guy found it on the barn of Beachers Hope or it probably belonged to Mr.Morgan
Love those old Colts but they’re safe queens pretty much on account of the timing and all. I’d rather have a modern six gun I can shoot
