blaster acquired :D

[Skinner3D]

My ks blaster and holster came today. They are really nice pieces, but I have questions. The blaster weighs in at 1.6 lbs or .725kg.

How does that compare to other blasters?

What am I going to have to do to the boot to hold it?

That's heavy. Mine are bigger and when packed for shipping, the whole package is around 1 lb according to the post office.

 

I suggest you use hot glue to put some foam down in the holster to hold it tight. Make sure you can't see it from the outside. If you can, drill into the pressure button and embed magnets then put a steel plate behind the holster. I've some older scouts with a strap over top of the holster (the way DL-44 or E-11 belt holsters are), but that probably will keep your GML from approving you.

I used sintra, curved with a heat gun to make my blaster fit tight in a SC holster. I did something similar with Rustbucket's KS holster with foam. We also have the magnets in our blasters though.

I did a test fit and the blaster seems to sit very well in the holster. I don't know how loose it will be for walking.

 

Here is the length. Didn't realize how badly my camera warped stuff til now.

 

Here is the back end

 

If I drill out the scope and the major axis, do I have to put anything back in? I feel like it would lighten it.

A trick I did before I made myself a blaster with magnets is a thin elastic strap around my leg just above the boot. When the blaster was in the holster, I just stretched the elastic over the little rings on the back of the blaster to keep it from wiggling. You had to really look hard to see it.
