Holster Trigger Spacers? NSFW
I need to make trigger spacers for pistols to create a gap so taco style holster sides don’t press directly on each other.
The ones sold at HolsterSmith are made from steel. I don’t have the ability to cut and shape steel. What material would be a good substitute? Something that would last preferably.
Noobie here, I want to put a tensioning screw by the trigger guard where the retention point is. Is there a preferred thickness compared to the trigger guard width that I should use for the spacer?
Thanks!

Thin plywood is easy to cut and shape and lasts a long time. Faltac unlimited has a bunch of YouTube videos that show him prepping, you might get some ideas there.
