Carbon Fiber as Holster Material?

[Speedo66]

I'm looking at an inside holster for my original LCP made of molded carbon fiber.

I've never had one made from this and haven't seen any reviews.

Wondering if anyone here has any experience with this, and if so, any pro's or con's?

The price is almost twice a regular kydex one, so wondering if there are any advantages aside from the bling.

Could you give a link to the maker?

There are a lot of kydex holsters with a carbon fiber looking print, but I can't think of any that are actually made of carbon fiber.

It's an Ebay seller, can I link to Ebay?

I sent them a question, specifically asking if it was actual CF not a print, and they say yes. I actually asked twice.

I'll send you a PM with the link.

I'm very skeptical of his response.

I'd think it would be unlikely to get an actual carbon fiber holster for $40.

For instance, Daranich Tactical (and many other kydex makers) will sell a carbon fiber print kydex holster https://www.daranichtactical.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=DT-IDPA-Holster

Garrett Holsters https://www.giholsters.com/category-s/396.htm

These are kydex (or Boltaron) and not carbon fiber.

Not for $40. Mine was $35, and is a Kydex in a carbon fiber print. It was advertised as a “finish”. I will say that whatever the “finish” is made of, it made whiskers for a week or two that could have turned into splinters.

I ordered from We The People Holsters in Las Vegas. Kydex IWB holster for my M&P Shield 9mm, mag holder and gun belt. Got a good deal ($120) for all American made. The belt was the priciest bit, but it will hold the weight and has an excellent return policy. Good luck finding real carbon fiber at a reasonable price. Not sure the extra cost is worth to weight savings.

Wow, that must be some belt to be able to hold up a 9mm Shield and mag.

Just kidding. Their stuff looks good.
