Proper placement and setup for your Kydex IWB Holster

Carrying a holster up front at Appendix carry,  the holster should be setup with Zero forward cant.  This allows the  user to get a proper purchase on the grip.  When the holster is worn  behind the hip for IWB Carry the holster should be setup with a 15  degree forward cant.  This allows the user to get the proper grip on the  handgun while drawing from the holster.  it presents the grip at the  proper angle so you do not have to bend your wrist at an unusual angle.   

Just as in the name, it does what it says it  does.  It is a sweat shield to protect the body side of your handgun  from body sweat.  A full Sweat Shield can always be trimmed and  polished.  A minimal Sweat shield can not be grown.  Most sweat shields  also protect any of the firearm controls such as Safety, Slide Release  lever and Take down levers or DE-cockers.

Pull-the-Dot™Snap Instructions
We use Mil-Spec, Pull-the-Dot snap fasteners on our soft loops.

These  are directional snaps and will only open or close in a certain  direction. This feature prevents the snaps from opening when the being  worn on the belt, but will allow you to unsnap them easily to remove the  holster. These snaps can be very difficult to open and/or close when  new and may require a break in period. The following instructions will  help you use the snaps and trouble shoot some common issues we’ve found  with new snaps.
Pull-the-Dot snaps are directional. They will only  snap by hooking the bottom of the female socket on the male snap and  rolling up. To un-snap, apply outward pressure on the top edge of the  female socket (where the dot is on the cap) and it will release from the  male snap. If you can not open the snaps by hand when new, use a  flathead screw driver or similar tool and place it between the female  socket and male snap at the top of the snap (where the dot is on the  cap). Twist the screwdriver and the two halves should separate easily.  Once unsnapped, ensure the screw in the male side is tight. Repeat this  process until the two can be easily unsnapped by hand. A drop of oil on  the male snap can also help. If it is very difficult to close the snap  by hand when new, first make sure the
screw in the male snap is  tight. Then, look inside the female cap. There is a ring of metal around  the inside of the cap. There is a split in this ring. The sharp edges  of this split can bind on the male snap and prevent you from closing the  snap. Using a flathead screwdriver or similar tool, rotate the split  around until it is next to the metal band that holds the ring in the  cap. Once the split is in this position, you should be able to close the  snap by hand. 

• Please use Blue LokTite on all screws to secure them against future loosening.
