So I really hate to give randos on Fleabay my business when I know there are local businesses that make good holsters.

Now that my P80 is done, I need a OWB holster. It has an aftermarket G35 slide, RMR type optic, and I plan on getting a light down the road.

I'm way more about function, even plain black is totally fine as long as the belt clips are sturdy.

Any vendors on here, or who is a good ma & pa maker?

A less distasteful alternative to the bay is Etsy. Maybe try looking there.

K-Rounds is in the Auburn area. I'm pretty sure they do one-offs.

FWIW, last I heard - directly from them - was they no longer do one-offs or even semi-custom. This was about 10-12 months ago when I stopped in. Perhaps they've changed since then, but I don't know.
That said, it's definitely worth at least a phone call. They are in Kent; on Willis, just about a block west of Central.

Also, if the OP does contact them please let us know what they say, and/or how things turn out. I've found them to be very good people.

These guys are in LA Grande, OR and do custom holsters.

https://www.windhillholsters.com/custom-quote-form/

Holsters start at $35 which isn't to shabby at all although I'm sure it goes up with add ons.

They are heavily stocked at my favorite gun shop Talos Tactical in West Richland. I'll be going to them to see about a holster for my incoming P365XL with a red dot and streamlight tlr-6.

This guy used to be in Wenatchee, but escaped to Texas a while ago. I had one of their Paratas holsters for a G17 I ended up trading off for a buttload of ammo a few years back.

They may do custom holsters.

Other than the suppressor sights, the P80 seems to fit just fine in my old G34 Alien Gear IWB (without the red dot mounted of course). So I'm not too worried about getting one specific to the P80 frame. It's more about the add-on charges for red dot cut, suppressor sights, and threaded barrel that kill me, it's 50% the cost of the holster with most companies!

If you are getting a hybrid holster (kydex and leather/neoprene) then you can get away with holsters designed for factory glockenspiels. However, for any kydex shells or fitted holsters they do NOT work. The P80s have a ridge between the rails and the slide that does not allow fitting into Glock holsters.

Edit to add: it is possible to remove the ridge with some careful dremel work to where they will fit any Glock holster.
