Where Can I Find These Snaps For Iwb Holsters?

[Sixer]

This may not be the right forum, but I'll give it a shot anyway...

I have 2 different holsters that have these types of snaps on them. Can anyone tell me where to buy these? Thanks!

they are not snaps. they are t-nuts your local hardware store will have them

[tennoutrider]

Hatley is correct...they are "T" nuts..you can get them at Lowes, Home Depot, or local hardware store. I use two sizes 6/32" and 8/32" (same thread size as Chicago Screws). If you have a local bolt supplier you also get them by the 100 count for far less than you pay at the box stores.

Awesome, thanks guys!

It looks to me like a Pull The Dot snap with the stud attached using a tee nut, as Luke said. McMaster-Carr sells a variety of tee nuts in bulk quantities.

You are correct sir... they are "Pull the Dot" snaps.

I stopped by Lowes this evening and picked up a few sets of the tee nuts. Thanks again for your help

If you order the Pull The Dot snaps, make sure you get the 6-32 T nuts and 3/8" 6-32 button head cap screws that use 5/64" (I think) allen wrench. You may want to pick up 1/2" and 1/4" screws too for different leather thicknesses and applications. They are cheap enough to have a few different sizes around.

Also, that holster has the T nut on the back side going through both layers of leather. I find it is a much cleaner look if you put the T nut inbetween the leather layers. When doing this, you will used the 3/8" screw likely and the 1/2" for going all the way through both layers.

I am also in NW MO and use those items. I might be able to help with the snaps.
