ermm you need a belt and it will get loose with time also.

@sfksoldier I hate belts. I bought this paddle holster because it doesn't require a belt. I do have traditional belt look holsters too though.

@SuperSneakySteve In order to safely carry with a holster you really need to wear a belt for stability. If you arent worried about, or taking the proper cautions for, weapon retention you have no business carrying.

[SuperSneakySteve]

@GellyNose I have the right to carry anyway I want to. It is my business to carry and none of yours. This is America ass wipe :D

[mattc1683]

first off a belt will fix the problem, second you have that holster way way too far forword

I've got 11 fobus holsters, and one trick i've found is to preheat your oven to 150, and stick the holster on a cookie sheet for about 10 minutes. Then hold it, and quickly holster and draw about 20 times. It will loosen up the retention about 10 percent of the "out of the box" condition, and it will never change again. Obviously, the heat softens it enuf to change slightly, but the holstering and drawing quickly cools it off quickly, causing it to harden more than it was before. It works!!!

what's next a shoulder holster without shoulders? lol JK,

I am having the same issue even with my fobus attached to my belt, it's tight like a high school prom night, but everyone tells me their fobus was really tight until a couple hundred draws, so keep working it till she loosens up :) (man that post sounded a bit naughty) lol

@ekserchina Its a revolver dumbass. It doesnt matter, hell even if it was an automatic it wouldnt fucking matter.

[PolishPrisoner]

Draw harder. It's not supposed to slide out.

[ihearvoices22]

a belt helps and after 100 draws it will loosen up. when i got my fobus for my beretta it was very hard to draw but after 100 draws or so it started to loosen up. with my glock / fobus setup i can carry it with gym shorts with the drawstring good and tight.

Try wearing a belt!

[Rattlebars]

Nice review, but Fobus holsters as a rule lock onto the trigger guard and the screw will let you set the tension of that lock. Loosen the screw and you will be able to easily draw that weapon with one hand while holding off your attacker with the other. I can tell by the loud CLICK when you insert the weapon that you have it too tight.

put a belt on

[bruce21b]

ummmm, you need a BELT for it to work properly
