IWB holster question - Chicago screws
My everyday Galco Kingtuk keeps losing screws on the adjustable belt ride clips. Does anyone know a fix for this? Is it just Galco brand that does this? I suppose I could use Lok-Tite glue to cement them in place.... but that would defeat the purpose of adjustable belt clips!
Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks.

Blue color loctite. You will only want it one way since it is your holster and you are not sharing so just fit it right and then loctite.

Re: IWB holster question - Chicago screws
Thanks, guys!
Think I'll start with crank's teflon thread tape idea and try it out. Have some out in the garage. Then 86's o-ring solution, if teflon doesn't work out. Loctite will be my last resort, tho, as I *do* adjust the ride height depending on whether it's a "cargo pants and a wide belt" kinda day, or a "dress slacks and a skinny belt" sort of night. Wanna stay flexible as much as possible.
Thanks again. Will let you know how things turn out.

If you use blue loctite it can be broken free again if need be. Use a hair dryer and apply a little heat then a properly sized screw driver and you can loosen the screw. The red loctite is a more permanent thread locker.
