@ so the prep mold can be used for both forming and fitting? I’m just starting out and trying to keep cost down at first until I get orders to reinvest.
@@AnchorHolsters Short answer = Yes. The "prepped" version has the same specs as the "trainer" and "natural", with the exception of the built-in extra clearances (site rail, slide release, etc.). Once you've made a few holsters, though, you may prefer to refine the clearances to your own personal look and feel. If it's your first one, and you want to get it right without trial and error, buy the "prepped" version. It'll make a perfect holster and your gun will fit and draw the first time. Later, as you add more models, you can get a "natural" and make your own clearance mods to match your personal style. We're here to help...just shout!
You won't scratch your gun if you take your time with the prep work and molding. If you're only making a single holster, a live weapon is perfectly fine to use. If you're doing several holsters for that model, we recommend a molding prop just to be safe.
I noticed you used two different molds, a prepped mold and a natural mold. Do you need both? Can you use the prepped mold for fitting?
Sorry for the confusion. Yes, you can use them both for forming and fitting.

Why doesn’t the kit come with the template? Is it just assumed we’d scratch our guns?

Perhaps a better title might be “How to Use a Belt Sander? I thought that useless segment would never come to a conclusion.
