Kirby Posted November 2, 2010 Report Share Posted November 2, 2010 I know how the holster is to attach for ANH. The question I have is that would using a Chicago screw/post screw in place of an actual rivet on the belt portion acceptable for EIB? This would make removing the holster from the belt a whole lot easier should I need to remove it for whatever reason. IE mod minor, repair, etc. I have read about people using them on here for other things, I cant remember if I saw it for the holster to belt connection..

TK bondservnt[501st] Posted November 2, 2010 Report Share Posted November 2, 2010 it's perfectly acceptable. especially when the screw post looks like a silver rivet. I use screw posts for the following parts on my armor: belt fasteners from canvas to plastic front ( I glued the plastic belt caps to the rivet side, and glued them to the plastic. ) this way the belt is completely removable from the plastic armor. I also used screw posts to assemble my shims on my black suit. allowing flexibility and removal for storage, cleaning. then finally I used screw posts 1/8" to attach my holster to the canvas. when I sell holsters I have now completely replaced using rivets for the upper straps, it allows for making a single holster into any kind of film holster you'd want. from ANH tan upper straps, to ESB and ROTJ styles. it's also stronger and more secure than a rivet, since rivets can pull out from leather over time.
