markush Report post Posted September 8, 2011 Spacers that fit between the belt loop and holster body on IWB's...I didn't use them and see no adverse effects. Are they just one of those little extras that some makers do? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

woodandsteel Report post Posted September 9, 2011 (edited) Until recently, I had been adding a leather washer between the belt loops and the holster body on my IWB holsters. I've decided to quit using them, though for several reasons: First, The spacer takes extra time and work to cut, punch, dye, edge and finish. Second, it makes the snaps stick out further, which can "print" more under a shirt, and requires a longer (and usually an odd length) screw. I've found that it works fine without the spacer with the pull-the-dot snaps, which have a taller post anyway.
