Can be had for under your budget.
I also took my thumb guard off as I found with my gloves it slightly caught them. Even with that being said I've tested someone seriously trying to take my sidearm from me and he was unable to. |
Actually, I like that holster, it covers almost the entire slide, which would be great for playing outdoors. Something that the serpa I am looking at lacks. After looking at the video, it looks like you have to push the thumb drive down quite a bit. Was it awkward getting used to?

You simply need to purchase the GLOCK 21/22 SERPA...due to the fact that TM's glock is slightly wider than its RS Glock 17 counterpart.
The Glock 22 chambered in .40 SERPA holster will support the TM G17 perfectly.
I know because i have been running one on either my chest, hip or leg holster for years.

Thanks for your input, and you are right, a G21/G22 holster would work if I did not want to modify the holster a bit.
From my reading, I know that the slide on an externally stock TM G17 is wider by something like .7mm too wide. A Glock 17 holster will work if you either modify it a little (sand it, or use a heat gun to reform the kydex), or use a PGC slide on your glock.
I plan on reshaping it for the short term use, while I have a stock slide. Once I install a PGC slide, I will either reshape the holster one more time, or put in a thin suede liner to fill up that extra space (bonus of protecting the slides paint).
Thread I'm basing the modification off of:

then it's going to cost you well over $100 to produce one.

I do own most of those tools, or lesser equivalents. Enough to give it a shot, I believe. Could probably get everything (used toaster oven, materials, hardware, foam, clamps) for a bit more than 100$.
On a different note, what kind of holsters have you made? Have any pictures? Have you ever tried replicating a safariland?
