Members Josh Ashman Posted October 16, 2019 Members Report Posted October 16, 2019 Good looking holster Todd! Sorry to hear the snaps are being a problem, I'd have thought 3 line 24's would have worked fine. I wonder if you can make it OK by casing the fold and hammering it down a little then letting it dry. Doing so would remove the constant pressure the fold is placing on the snaps and may be enough to make it work. Drilling out the female part of the snap and replacing with PTD's may also help. Another option would be to punch 2 - 1/4" holes clear through the holster (use a wood block and scrap piece of leather to punch into) about 5/8" apart then run a piece of lace through them and put half a bleed knot in it. The lace would back up the snaps but could still be undone if wanted. Anyway, we all run into unintended problems. I'm sure you'll find a fix. Again, it's a great looking holster! Nice job. All the best, Josh Quote
Members Hildebrand Posted October 16, 2019 Author Members Report Posted October 16, 2019 Thanks Josh, Casing and flattening is one option we talked about when I delivered it and I think thats where I will start. I like your idea of a lace to act as a backup. Thanks, Todd Quote
