Members Reaper Posted February 11, 2012 Members Report Posted February 11, 2012 I use a Kydex shim between the two pieces being screwed together. This makes a firm mounting point and it also keeps the holster ridged at the mounting point for the life of the holster. Quote No sir, he fell into that bullet
Members glockanator Posted February 11, 2012 Author Members Report Posted February 11, 2012 What dimensions do y'all use on your straps? Quote
Members JoelR Posted February 12, 2012 Members Report Posted February 12, 2012 (edited) I use 8-32, and grind down both the prongs and shank so that the shank extends through both the base and the strap. I also do as TwinOaks and sandwich them between two layers whenever possible. Personally, I don't trust the strength of a #6 screw and am still looking for small-headed #8 stainless steel screws so I can stop turning them down on my drill press. One of these days I'll do an abuse test on #6 screws and maybe ease my mind on their strength for this purpose. Strap sizes depend on the design of the rig. Generally I use between 3/4" and 1".
