Leather magazine pouch...Oops!

CrociJA · January 23, 2000, 07:17 PM

Just received my M/D holster, belt and mag pouch in the mail last Tuesday. The belt is 1 1/2" in width and although it fit the holster like a glove, the ammo pouch was about 1/2" too narrow. So what did I have to do? Before I knew what I was doing, I took out my trusty knife and cut a slit along the top and bottom of the notch and "wholla" the belt fit through nice and snug. Now the problem, how do I keep the "slit" from increasing in size? I was thinking about getting a leather punch and putting in a stitch, any suggestions?

CrociJA,

Try punching a nice clean hole centered exactly over the end of the cuts you made.

You could have contacted ma and I would have taken care of it ASAP. In fact if it's a problem just drop me a line and I'll still take care of it.

Hehehe...Now that's what I call customer service. What are the chances? I just may take you up on your offer Mark. However, the LF-1 class is in another month, so I might just want to hang on to it until then.
Going to the range next weekend, and I want to have the entire rig to get used to it.
Thanks!

Jon
