Hipshot Percussion Posted January 2, 2019 at 03:26 AM Share Posted January 2, 2019 at 03:26 AM Holster maintenance is something I never really thought about. Gun goes in, gun comes out. Yesterday I received my new Clinger Stringray (my holster of choice for most of my pistols) for my Glock 19. Adjusted the screws so the gun "snapped" into place and went to hang it on my belt. I could barely get the clip over the belt, it was so tight. Lately, the holster for my Glock 17 has been riding up on the belt, mostly because it is so long, sitting down can put upwards pressure on it. But it wasn't until this new holster that I realized the clip on the Glock 17 holster was tired. Hmmmm.... Ordered another clip for the G17 holster and tomorrow I'm going through all my holsters and just kinda' check on the clips, make sure the screws are adjusted correctly and check for cracks. Guess that will become a monthly thing for me now. Anyone else do regular maintenance on their holsters? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DD123 Posted January 2, 2019 at 08:27 PM Share Posted January 2, 2019 at 08:27 PM If they're kydex, I wipe them out with a wet paper towel and then dry them off. For any screws, I use vibra-tite after I figure out how much they need to be screwed in. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0088YEGXM/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Most of my belt clips are made of metal so I haven't had any issues with how tightly they secure to the belt.

Kingcreek Posted January 2, 2019 at 09:45 PM Share Posted January 2, 2019 at 09:45 PM I use some silicone spray if they start to squeak and creak. I wipe them off or out if they get too dirty. I occasionally inspect for any signs of impending failure but other than that I don't pay much attention to them.Screws and clips never been a problem.

Tip Posted January 2, 2019 at 10:37 PM Share Posted January 2, 2019 at 10:37 PM Screws, clips, shells, etc. all get visually inspected each time I put a holster on. They get wiped off/out when necessary. Ergo, some of mine haven’t been inspected in years LOL.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
