Top to bottom: screw, finish washer, capture, spacer (hidden), faceplate, post (hidden). Capture on right, holster/faceplate assembly on the left. Once you’ve verified this, connect the buckle capture to the assembly using the short post, spacer, short screw and finish washer – the short post comes from the back/body side of the assembly, the screw and finish washer come from the front/outside of the capture, and the spacer goes between the gray parts of the capture and the assembly. You want the fabric between the buckle and your body. Screenshots shamelessly stolen used with consent from PHLster Using the small “buckle capture” piece, the female side of the Fidlock buckle has one of the gray polymer portions of the “capture” passed through it, then the other end of the “capture” passes back through the slot in the first end of the “capture” in a sort of interweaving motion shown below ( or at 3:48 in the video). There’s a “male” and a “female” side to the buckle – the “male” side has the pull and the moving parts, the female side is a single piece. Now we’re going to attach the Fidlock buckle and belt to the assembly – Jon likes having it on the slide side of the holster to allow for weapon retention by the primary firing hand, but the choice is yours.

If you have an adjustable retention holster, I’d watch the video starting at about 1:35 for his explanation of how to handle that eventuality. Assembled, view from the “back” or “body” side. Tighten the screws – now you have the faceplate/wing/holster assembly completed. The long posts then go through the back of the holster, and attach to the screws that will be poking through the spacers a little bit. Top to bottom: screws, faceplate, spacers, wing, holster body, posts. Put the screws through the faceplate, then slide the supplied spacers and the wing from your holster on to the screws, in that order.

Make sure you have the correct orientation of the faceplate and garter strap, or it won’t work how you want it to (pictured below). Girth hitch the garter strap around the faceplate (do this before you attach the faceplate to the holster like he says in the video, trust me). …but if you’re like me and wished there were a written document you could reference instead of pausing and rewinding the video, here you go.įirst, remove all the hardware from the holster you’ll be using (clips, belt loops, screws, posts, and so on).
