Members cjcinin317 Posted October 17, 2011 Members Report Posted October 17, 2011 What are others using as a spacer on their IWB holster? I have been using some rubber grommets but cant find them now. Should have bought more. Anyway was wondering if there was a sight to order something in small amounts but cant really find anything. Checked McMaster-Carr and did a search but no luck. So I really was just wandering what others use and were you get them. I know Milt Sparks use a thick hard rubber spacer but nothing that thick in any search i made. Really dont want something super thick. 1/8 to 3/16th I think. This picture show what I'm talking about. Any info would be appreciated. Thanks CJ Quote

Thanks CJ if you live near a gasket shop they can make you lots of them if they dont have some in stock that will work Quote If a job is worth doing at all, it is worth doing right

Members cjcinin317 Posted October 17, 2011 Author Members Report Posted October 17, 2011 I use leather washers from McMaster-Carr http://www.mcmaster.com/#standard-washers/=eiuh6u Thanks. Was searching for rubber or plastic. Not sure why leather didn't occur to me. Thanks agian CJ Quote
Billsotx Posted October 17, 2011 Report Posted October 17, 2011 Punch out a plug with a 1/2 to 5/8 punch, then punch a hole 1/16 to 1/8 in the center; thickness varies by weight of leather and you can glue 2 or 4 together depending on the thickness you want. Throw an extra in the package so the buyer has a backup if he needs it. Quote
