G26 Fobus kydex OWD paddle

Postby yukonjasper on Sat Dec 12, 2020 4:04 pm

I noticed that when I holster, the slide pushes back out of battery. Not much, maybe an either of an inch. Trying to decide if I should be concerned. As I draw, the slide comes forward or I can push it forward to put all the way forward. Any opinions on if this should be a concern?

Adjusting retention doesn't seem to make a difference as the friction is forward in the area around the slide.

I’d be concerned, that’s just asking for a malfunction.

Fobus is not something you should be depending on.

Suggestions for a replacement on the more budget friendly side?

Needs to be easy on and off and reasonably comfortable. I like paddles for that reason.

I know I can spend $100+ on a custom holster. Would like to be in the $30-$40 range if possible.

Also struggling with an iwb option also, referencing another thread minotaur iwb......

It is Kydex.

Apply a heat gun in the area that is pushing the slide back. If needed, apply some aluminum foil around the slide in the area that is tight before applying the heat.
Because I care, I carry.
