Welcome to TSC Holsters

The 2 places Kydex holsters break are the belt clips and the inside panel on the body of the holster. Most commonly the belt clip gives out due to repeated flexing or getting snagged on something.

If your holster's belt clip breaks please contact me (e-mail or phone) for details on getting your holster back up and running as soon as possible. Most commonly I'll just have you send $10 for shipping and handling and the holster and it will be repaired asap. The repair is to modify the holster for replaceable bolt on clips. Easily done if your have the right tools. With your retrofitted holster I will also enclose a spare set of clips for the next time.

If your holster has cracked on the body it cannot be repaired. Often, though, the crack only goes to a certain point and stops. However, if it doesn't stop, the holster will have to be replaced before it fails and becomes dangerous. As a customer service, if you send the cracked holster to me I will sell you a new holster, made to your specs., for the reduced price of $30.

If you don't want to ship your holster to me for replaceable belt clips, you can do the repair yourself - Just contact me and the pre-drilled, cut, and polished clips and bolts will be shipped to you. Again there will be a $10 shipping and handling charge.

To do it yourself, you would just use a set of straight cut tin snips to cut off the cracked clip. Then use the dremel to round off the sharp edges on the holster body (I use a belt sander but a sanding drum on your dremel will work fine). Then use a felt polishing wheel and the dremel to smooth out / polish the edges of the holster. This will make sure the holster is still comfortable and feels the same.

At this point use some vice grips to clamp the replaceable clip in place so both screws will be attached to the holster body when assembled, and the top of the clip loop is flush to 1/4" above the top edge of the holster body. You can actually slightly tweak the holster's cant here if the gun angle is a little off for your tastes, but be sure, because it's a permanent modification. Then just drill (7/32" drill bit) through the holster's body where the pre-drilled holes are in the replacement clip. Be sure the clip is clamped tight because things can torque when the drill bit bites in (I use 2 vice grips to be sure). Once that's all done use the screws I'll send to attach the clip to the holster body . Make sure you also use loctite on the screw when assembling.

Clear as mud?? Actually it's harder to write out than it is to do if you have the tools ready. However, if you botch it, I may not be able to fix the damage. Please don't blame me.

No question is a dumb one so if this isn't clear just contact me and I'll try to fill in the details or answer any questions.
