Matt-77364 Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 Does anyone have any recommendations for the four rivets for attaching the pistol holster to the right boot? What size should the rivets be, and any other tips and techniques for this attachment? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chopper Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 Most folks use bare aluminum 1/8" diameter rivets with either 1/8" pull, or 1/4" pull. DOn't get steel rivet. While steel is sturdier, it's a BEAST if you need to ever drill it out and replace the rivet. Make sure to pick up some aluminum 1/8" backing plates as well, else you may crack the rivet holes in the plastic. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would "Chicago screws" work as well, as long as the screw head element was on the inside? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chopper Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 Unfortunately, no. Level 1 of the CRL specifically says "rivets", so chicago screws would be a no-go. "Attached to the outside of the right boot with rivets." 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
