This add-on video is free.
The tension screw allows you to adjust your holster’s tightness around your handgun. It makes for a custom fit that you can vary over time. Ultimately it is an easy install, but you will need to make an adjustment to your stitch line against the muzzle. This video demonstrates the quick install process of the screw, posts, and rubber washer.

Over a decade ago in the dusty plains of central Colorado, I began the path of building this small leather goods business. As the years have passed, I have acquired very useful and practical leather working skills that I am more than happy to pass on to those who are looking to learn the trade. A lot of knowledge comes with running a successful leather goods business, and at the heart of it all - remains a deep understanding of how to work with leather, approach problems, and come up with simple and satisfying solutions. Let me pass on a bit that knowledge and advice to you and we can keep the beautiful artistry of leather craft alive.
