Move your carry position to 3:00 or so so when you sit so your shirt isn't getting caught between the chair back and holster. I have the same holster, carry at 2:30 -3:00 and don't have that problem with daily carry in some of the same shirts for years. It's also more comfortable for sitting. Especially in my truck with the seatbelt as I spend a lot of time driving. |

Because of the belt loops on my pants I can carry at 4 and 7 or 3 and 9. In 3 and 9 I can move things forward a bit but I prefer to carry at 4 and 7 for comfort. That said, I'm going to try carrying at 3 and 9 until I figure something else out, if I do.

I put some moleskin over the screws so I'll see how that holds up.

My Crossbreed wore holes in two pair of pants before I figured that out. No problem since. This may be a solution. I just looked at my Raven and ran my fingers over the 4 screw heads and could feel some small burrs on them. I assume that's from the tightening at the factory. If that doesn't work and the moleskin wears off you might try capping the screw heads with a small dab of clear silicone caulk. |

Quick update.
Well it's been a little over 2 weeks since I started using moleskin to cover the screws and it's holding up pretty well. I've only had to replace 3 strips (I use 8 strips, once for each screw) so far. The trick to helping to prevent them from peeling off is to wrap them around the backside so the side edges don't get caught. I also switched to a 3/9 carry which keeps them from being squeezed between my back and chairs. |

Most of my shirts have holes on my right hip. It seems unavoidable to me. I don't let it bother me to much. You will get used to it.

I just replace my shirts and the holey ones become work shirts, cutoffs and undershirts

Move your carry position to 3:00 I carry at 3:00 IWB And haven't had any issues. I also use simple IWB kydex holsters . Built like the old school MiltSparks SS IWB. |

Since I received my CCL I've been carrying everyday for the past 4 months and I've noticed that my holster (OWB Raven Concealment) is wearing holes in the back of my shorts (long bowling style shirts) where the screws for the holster sit. I carry at 4 and 7 o'clock and the pressure from sitting down (car and chairs) is the root of the problem. I've done a little digging and so far I've found solutions like putting patches on the shirts where the screws touch and covering the screwheads with moleskin, duct tape or hot glue. I've not tried anything yet because I just noticed the problem on a shirt I bought around a month ago. I'm really bummed because I want to carry all the time but I don't want to destroy my $60 shirts. I also learned that IWB holsters can cause a similar problem with pants and I don't like IWB anyway. Any suggestions on how to fix this would be sincerely appreciated. Try a Pancake style OWB with belt slots. No screws needed. |

If you're referring to a leather OWB, I don't feel comfortable with a leather holster and a striker fired pistol. However, if you're talking about a kydex pancake OWB without screws I'd appreciate a link to a vendor who sells those because I can't say I've seen them. Quote HistoryQuoted:

You know what you "could" do is carefully drill the rivets out and then re rivet the loops directly on to the holster using a longer eyelet. I bet if you asked Raven's custom department would even do that for you. |
