I never really tried mine in the field or at targets without this Rocker1 LDC, it is louder than my Prod however not a whole lot, I do like the looks of his newer one, I suspect that it's probably lighter and from what I'm seeing it's quieter than this one too

Maybe I should look into one of these, however the animals still seem to have a hard time deciphering where the the sound is coming from.
The impact of the pellet seems to be louder than what the gun is.

Will the new style LDC thread on to the adapter for his first generation LDC

I'm pretty sure it is the same thread, and will fit just like the other one

I haven't heard of a specific holster for it. I have some kydex sheets that I've used to make some simple mounts for various holsters and that material is used by many manufacturers to form holsters so I was planning at some point to try to make a holster for it out of that. As I understand it, you need to wrap the specific pistol in some material (newspaper wrapped with tape should do) to provide some slight space and you also need to form some type of piece to cover the sight area up the rail to the top of the holster to form a channel to allow the pistol to draw upwards without the front sight catching. Supposedly a wooden dowel fitted over the sight and rib will work for that. Then you heat the material to soften and form it around the wrapped pistol. As I noted I haven't done this myself yet so I don't know how hot the material would get and how hard to handle it would be but it is an excellent material that can be drilled for flush fit screws to attach base plates and/or belt loops, etc. I have probably half a dozen such holsters for various firearms and the material itself is excellent and affordable so you could buy some and try to make yourself such a holster.

I used to use a toaster oven at 250*F and a heat gun to make knife sheaths, I also had a foam press for the molding. Might be a little tricky with how big the gun is(especially the cylinder), but should be doable. I've heard of guys using the cheap camping mats for the foam, it's just not as conforming as the specialty stuff.

Don't know of a holster that would work with the pistol, but......

I found a case that works quite well by a company I've never heard of before. Unusual construction for sure with the outside being a heavy and rigid ballistic nylon that is surrounding a wire basket that is lined with velvet covered memory foam pillows. The case is 20x10x4 and has zipper closures. The brand is Armmortek, and for the $20 I paid for it it show great promise.

To form Kydex and like materials you have to warm it up to the temperature it becomes malleable. Then you've gotta use good foam and use a tight clamping device and leave it pressed until it cools. I wouldn't fell safe doing this process to any of my airguns. My Glocks can handle the process, these pistols...perhaps, perhaps not. You can also use a heat gun and form the Kydex or Concealex or whatever you choose and form it around the pistol whilst molding with your hands with soft, but high temp resistant gloves. It just won't look as form-fitting.

Here are 3 of the holsters I made for my glocks. It's a long process and there are many but to have a one of a kind item is priceless. Especially if there doesn't exist anything for sale.
