UserID: 1 | Re: I'm making a homemade sidearm A small piece of PVC pipe might be the best thing for the task. Something like 1 1/2 inch or 2 inch pipe should be sufficient. If you want something different, try looking at McMaster-Carr for small pressurized vessels. You never know what you could find. I've been and continue to be amazed by the variety of stuff they have there. Some of my ideas come directly from finding a cool part.
