Lowe's has all sizes mentioned here...only a mile away....and i don't use them all day long so as long as I';m there every other day anyhow......it's the best source for me.

Can someone please explain how to use the t-nuts. I'm guessing you only use the front side of the male part of a snap and screw it to the t-nut. If that is so, what type and or sizes all go together, (t-nut, snap and screw) . Also if there is something else I'm missing please let me know.

Thanks, Joey

Sandwich the t nut between the layers, the the belt loop can easily be replaced on IWB holsters. I use 8/32 stainless t nut and screw, the screw head must be turned down a bit to allow clearance for the snap. Picture is of a Bianchi 120, that's how I determined what size t nut and screw to use. The strap I am unsure of the length, I just made a paper pattern from the Bianchi one. I will measure it layer for you. Lift the spot snaps, or Pull the dot snaps.

If you guys are using these enough to contemplate buying them in boxes of 100, I would strongly suggest that you search out your local wholesale bolt supplier. Mine order them for me at $47 per 1,000 -- that's 4.7 cent apiece, instead of the 40-50 cents apiece at my local hardware store.

Same thing with the pan head #6 crews I use. At the local hardware store, they are 45 cents each in black phosphate. From the bolt supplier, they are 10 cents each -- in stainless.
