Does anyone know where I can buy thumb break hardware? Not just the snap but, the metal pull tab as is fixed to the snap? Thanks Clay

Clay, I get mine from Tim Start at High Desert Leather. (highdesertleather.com) Mike

NOTE TO SELF: Never try to hold a cat and an operating Dust buster at the same time!!

At my age I find that I can live without sex..........but not without my glasses.

Being old has an advantage.......nobody expects me to do anything in a hurry.

I've got them from High Desert Leather as well, the metal tabs are sometimes too long on some things so I ended up making them out of kydex. The snap covers are great though, and his prices are very good, and he ships quick.

Thank you for the info. I did see the snap covers when I went to their web site earlier today. The snap covers seem like a good idea if they stay in place. What's been your experience with them. Metal tabs from kydex. Interesting. Maybe I'm missing something here. Where do you get your kydex from?

The snap covers stay in there, They require some force to get them in there, I don't think they would ever go anywhere.

What I meant by the metal tabs were: the ones I ordered from HDL were too long for what I needed them for so I made my own out of kydex, It's a little thicker than metal, but works fine. I got the Kydex from Springfield leather, I have a few different thicknesses, but I used the thinnest they sell for the tabs. I'd like to find shorter metal ones, but most of my holsters don't have thumbreaks on them so it's not usually an issue to make my own here and there out of kydex.

I think JRM has different sized ones but it's not as easy to order if you don't need 1000 of them, they will sell them but there is a procedure to get them.

What is the procedure to get to JRM? I have called and left two messages and sent a few emails without any repsonse. I would get 1,000 if the price is right and if they would respond......
