You eversous videa handgun holster?
For those not familiar with the termsous vide, it translates to under vacuum.
But what does that have to do with a holster?
And the best part?
The holster can be remolded over and over.
Want to switch you carry gun for the season?
Just reheat and remold.
A full-size handgun will get the largest size, a subcompact the smallest, etc.
But how do you customize the holster to your gun?
First, we need to consider the construction and materials of the holster.
A layer of polymer material is sandwiched between the cowhide layers.
This polymer becomes moldable when heated, and then retains its shape once it cools.
I gave it a go, fitting the Size #2 holster to mySpringfield Hellcat 9mm ultra compact pistol.
Having a Meltdown
Heres how it works.
Then get at least a gallon of water heating on the stove or with one of those fancysous videdoohickies.
The holster is oddly buoyant.
Bring the water temperature to about 165-170 degrees.
Leave the holster in that temperature for at least five minutes and remove the bag from the pot.
If the holster is pliable like soft leather, its ready.
If not, throw it back in for a bit longer.
Pull the holster out of the bag, without burning yourself, and youre ready to mold.
Push the handgun you want to fit the holster to in as far as it will go.
This will give you something to mold around and provide a front-sight channel.
The instructions say to do this for about five minutes, and that seemed to do it.
The holster material begins holding the shape more and more as it cools, until it finally hardens up.
Conclusion
Thats about all there is to it a custom molded holster in about 10 minutes.
The retention can also be made tighter by torquing down a screw so you get the resistance you want.
The larger sizes have plenty of room for a small laser sight on the accessory rail as well.
Im confident and rather impressed with this versatile and highly customizable concealed-carry holster.
