How to Adjust the Fit of an M12 Holster

Converting Holster Sides

• 1

  Undo the two retention wires from the back of the holster. You must release them one at a time by pulling them past the lips on the bar that secures the flap to the holster.

• 2

  Press the retention bar back so that it clears the plastic mount on the side of the holster and pull the flap up and out of the top slot on the mount. You may need to use a screwdriver to help the bar clear the mount.

• 3

  Turn the holster over. You'll see an identical plastic mount on the other side of the holster. Insert the flap retention bar into the top slot and slide the bar down until the lips clear the bottom of the mount. Use a screwdriver, if necessary, to help the bar get into the slot.

• 4

  Attach the two retention wires back onto the flap retention bar.

Attaching the M12

• 5

  Attach your holster to a conventional belt by sliding the belt through the vertical slots on the plastic mount. Position the holster on your belt and secure your belt buckle.

• 6

  Attach your holster to a tactical-duty belt by opening the retention wires, placing the holster in position and closing the retention wires over the belt.

• 7

  Attach your holster to a web belt by opening the retention wires and placing the hooks at the end of the wires through two adjacent eye holes on your web belt. Wearing your holster in this fashion causes it to hang lower than it would if directly secured to your belt.

Securing Your Pistol

• 8

  Pull the hook at the bottom of the flap down and lift the flap.

• 9

  Place your pistol in the holster. The nylon should conform to the shape of your pistol.

• 10

  Fold the flap back over the top of the weapon, pull the securing hook down and slide it back into the slot on the plastic mount.
