Inklegg Posted May 22, 2016 Share Posted May 22, 2016 Should the holster be attached to the boot with e6000 as well as the 4 silver rivets? Or do you guys just attach it with the rivets alone? Thanks in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retrofire Posted May 22, 2016 Share Posted May 22, 2016 I just use rivets with a piece of ABS inside the boot to give the rivets something to grip. You can also attach Velcro to the top part to help keep your boot from sagging depending on how heavy your blaster is.

Inklegg Posted May 22, 2016 Author Share Posted May 22, 2016 Awesome! Yeah, I have a piece of ABS and a velcro loop made for the inside. Just wanted to see if some sort of adhesive should be used as well. Thanks for the quick reply! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retrofire Posted May 22, 2016 Share Posted May 22, 2016 I didn't use any. I have a pic,of the inside of my boot on my build thread if you're interested. I didn't use the Velcro since I had a Hyperfirm but I may to add it after my new blaster from DVH comes in.

Inklegg Posted May 22, 2016 Author Share Posted May 22, 2016 I have an HFx hyperfirm as well. Doing the velcro loop as a precaution (because I don't know what to expect) or preemptive prep for a different blaster in the future (don't want to take it apart and redo it). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retrofire Posted May 22, 2016 Share Posted May 22, 2016 Smart move brother. I'm pretty sure I'll have to add it to avoid the dreaded boot sag. Sent from my VS985 4G using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Retrofire Posted May 22, 2016 Share Posted May 22, 2016 Nice work! Always great to see a blaster at the ready in a boot holster. Sent from my VS985 4G using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlitzJaeger Posted May 22, 2016 Share Posted May 22, 2016 Youll be fine like that, the rivets hold well against the plastic. I added magnets to mine I will make sure and post pics in my build thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boomer637 Posted May 22, 2016 Share Posted May 22, 2016 Are they pop rivets? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NegativeEleven Posted May 28, 2016 Share Posted May 28, 2016 I actually sewed two strips of velcro down the vinyl behind the holster to stick to the leg of the flight suit. I had a strap initially, but cracked the corners of my first holster by having too much tension with the strap pulling the edges against my leg.

khazara Posted May 29, 2016 Share Posted May 29, 2016 Done! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Ooh what are those rivet covers!? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NegativeEleven Posted May 29, 2016 Share Posted May 29, 2016 Oh, screw covers. They sell those at Lowe's. I never thought of using them to make rivets softer! http://m.lowes.com/pd/The-Hillman-Group-14-in-x-14-in-Black-Plastic-End-Cap/3012661 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forest Ranger Posted May 29, 2016 Share Posted May 29, 2016 I just use rivets with a piece of ABS inside the boot to give the rivets something to grip. You can also attach Velcro to the top part to help keep your boot from sagging depending on how heavy your blaster is. I did the same, except no velcro to hold it up. I'm not planning on walking around with my blaster in my holster anyways, unless it's for a picture, and I don't want to hold my blaster. I'd prefer to walk around with it in my hand, to be safe.

NegativeEleven Posted May 29, 2016 Share Posted May 29, 2016 I have a pretty heavy blaster. With magnets, some packing foam in the holster, and the velcro on flightsuit, I barely notice it anymore. I walk around all the time with it in the holster, even ride my motorcycle in armor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inklegg Posted July 7, 2016 Author Share Posted July 7, 2016 Ooh what are those rivet covers!? Yeah, screw covers. I used them on my belt and knees as well. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NegativeEleven Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 Rivet should be metal, not white if you see it from the outside Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inklegg Posted July 8, 2016 Author Share Posted July 8, 2016 Rivet should be metal, not white if you see it from the outside Yes, the CRL was incorrect at the time I did my belt/knees. It has been updated since then and I have corrected the rivet colors after the pictures were taken.
