how do u guys mount your desert eagle?

[Toanjuice]

iv been searching high and low for a hard holster for a desert eagle, without paying premium price for real steel
so fair, its been fruitless

now have to resign to the fact that i have to get one of those multi purpose holsters for them
just want to ask you guys which holsters you used for them?
OR if by some miracle you found sub £50 holster designed just for the desert eagle, let me know

btw its the tm desert eagle

Re: how do u guys mount your desert eagle?

1. Buy an A4 sheet of Kydex from [INSERT ONLINE AUCTION SITE HERE] for ~£5 including shipping.
2. (Optional: Buy an A4 sheet of synthetic suede and some suitable flexible glue from [INSERT ONLINE AUCTION SITE HERE] for a similar sum.)
3. Wrap Desert Eagle in several sheets of greaseproof paper and remove magazine.
4. Place sheet of Kydex in the oven for 5-10 minutes.
5. Remove sheet of Kydex from oven and lay flat on a hard surface. Place Desert Eagle, wrapped, on one half of the Kydex with the top of the slide along the centreline. Fold sheet of Kydex over the Desert Eagle, and press down with a towel to mould the plastic to the Desert Eagle's shape. Allow Kydex to cool for 10 minutes, then extract Desert Eagle.
6. Trim Kydex with rotary tool (Dremel), shears or tinsnips, and sand smooth. (Optionally, trim with synthetic suede using glue to affix the lining to the inside of the holster.)
7. Affix holster to mounting plate scavenged from existing holster, or custom-made from excess Kydex. Check fit, and adjust using heat gun or oven as necessary.

Total cost is usually £10-15.

^ I like that.

Another option: Take a pouch designed to hold a single M4 mag. Cut the bottom off and cut an inch or two down one side for the trigger guard. Instant, secure, molle-mountable Desert Eagle holster.

I'm attaching a very old picture of one I made and used years ago.

There is a premade hard belt holster for the MP7. I actually have one that I'll probably be selling this week, but they're definitely out there.

Brand?

Re: how do u guys mount your desert eagle?

There is a china offbrand molle holster which can be changed in size with velcro. I used to use one of these all the time and it worked very well. I'll pm you with a link to it.

I'm not sure on the MP7 holster brand; I think it was 'TMC.'

Ive got a couple of Uncle Mikes vertical shoulder holster (LH +RH) that work really well. They are made from cordura. With a gun as big as the DE holstered on my belt, my trousers would be around my ankles in no time.

Not my one but mine is essentially exactly the same -
