evensteven Report post Posted March 30, 2014 I've been making holsters for a while but I've never done a thumb break. My question is, do you have to use a one way snap for a thumb break or will a regular line 24 work? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
camano ridge Report post Posted March 30, 2014 I have made many thumb breaks and I have always used line 24 and never had a proble. The thumb break and strap provides a form of retention. The thumb break allows you to open the strap and remove the pistol easily with one movement. A directional snap like pull the dot might slow down the draw if you do not have it lined up properly and if you don't hit the thumb break just right. HAving said that I have never used a directional snap on a thum break just never found the need. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
evensteven Report post Posted March 30, 2014 Thanks! Appreciate the info. I guess I could have figured that out on my own but, being brand new here, it seemed like as good a way as any to break the ice. Thanks again. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
