XoreX Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 Hi gang, Me and my wife were shopping at this store in Ottawa (Lee Valley tools) and found out they carry rare earth magnets. You know what some people use to secure their pistols in their holster. And I was happy to find out they have a web site: www.leevalley.com for the US and international www.leevalleytools.ca for Canada Do a search for rare earth magnet and you'll find things like this: 50 piece magnet sampler - abit under 20$ 15 of 1/8" diameter x 1/8" thick rod magnet 8 of 1/4" diameter x 1/4" thick rod magnet 2 of 1/4" diameter x 1/2" thick rod magnet 1 of 1/4" diameter x 1" thick rod magnet 8 of 1/4" diameter x 1/10" thick circular magnet 8 of 3/8" diameter x 1/10" thick circular magnet 8 of 1/2" diameter x 1/8" thick circular magnet. and Rare-earth circular magnet, with prices ranging from 0.35$ for a single 1/4 inch magnet to about 13$ for a pack of 5 1 inch magnets. Well hope this helps you guys with your pistol/holster issues Thanks JS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chimei Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 does anyone have experience using this on the pistol? any pics of the mod? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stormsurge Posted September 14, 2011 Share Posted September 14, 2011 I'd like to see this too, where best to position the magnets? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrooperVenger Posted September 14, 2011 Share Posted September 14, 2011 I was told that people put them on the circle on the gun. The one on the side. I don't have a picture to illustrate, but I could mod someones picture if they have one. I don't have a blaster - yet - but I'm considering doing the same mod.

Jello Posted September 14, 2011 Share Posted September 14, 2011 I've put my rare earth magnet in that very location. I countersank the trigger (the circle referred to on the butt of the blaster), and glued the magnet in place, with the other magnet glued between the shaft of the boot and the holster itself, if that makes sense...

That's what I plan to do. Does it work well for you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dart Posted September 14, 2011 Share Posted September 14, 2011 I've done this and so have a few others. If I wasn't so busy at work I'd link ya but go through the armor archives you'll find the thread there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jello Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 It does, Griffin, although I think I'll add a little velcro in a couple places just for a little additional security. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
