Best Way To Rivet A Clip?

[chiefjason]

That hole is WAY too big. Unless the rivet pulled the outside leather off when it came out. The hole needs to be just big enough for the stem as mentioned above. Preferably taking a bit of force to push it through. IMO, you need to deal with the holster being a bit thicker so that you can attach the rivet and clip to an extra piece sewn to the holster so that no hardware has access to the inside too. The reality is, the amount of thickness is going to be minute.

And check out the Bodyguard thread too.

No rivet, metal or any copper shoud ever be exposed to the inside of any holster.....at least not where the actual barrel or slide draws in and out....NEVER!!

As been said, use a seperate piece of leather, maybe even Kydex and sew it to the outside of your holster, attach your clip on that...rivet, sew or glue, but alsways an extra layer to hide metal and to reinforce your work....period!! Hope that makes sense....
