I have been looking high and low for a more reasonable priced item than what Tandy wants

A slide adjuster with snap

tandy sells them for $2.25

and they are plastic

I found a place, Ohio travel bag that sells metal adjusters with snap for  $1.25

I use them on holsters

Item number at Ohio travel bag

10615. They call it a buckle socket

Use them on a holster to attach the strap to the front of the holster

I have patterns that several different model guns, The frames are the same but the grips are different sizes and 1 size strap does not fit

this allows me to attach a strap then adjust on the fly with out having to cut/trim etc. while a customer is waiting

also excellent for back pack straps

Found them cheaper

place called strap works, they call it a double adjuster. 3/4 costs $0.63 each

but, you have to drill your own hole and set a snap.

We are here to help each other

especially during this economic free fall we are experiencing due to lack of leadership.

have you noticed a shortage of crackers at the store? Are crackers going to be like toilet paper was ?

lol  you cant judge by our two stores, the roads have been closed for almost three weeks off and on daily due to storms and or high winds. Sometimes we don't have any fresh produce or meat at all. I think we have crackers though. If there are nation wide shortages the truckers passing through stop and grab all they can, its become a real problem here and a second source of income for the truckers.
