Do you want to add quick tension adjustment to your holster? Almost all US holster hardware uses #8-32 threads. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07YCTPDCB I bought the Brass above, but also available in SS, Black, Aluminum anodized colors from other vendors. BladeTech holsters need 3/4" length, most other are shorter... measure your holster gap first. https://www.amazon.com/Aluminum-Textured-10pcs%EF%BC%8CManual-Chassis-Computer/dp/B0DDX3R4YP https://www.amazon.com/Stainless-Straight-Shoulders-Right-Hand-Uncoated/dp/B07XF4WTVQ Attached File |

RHT has throw levers they offer factory now as well though. |

Great find OP! I'm in the lever camp, but I know lots that prefer the thumb screws. The big takeaway here is that the "specialty" add on from expensive holster makers are pretty easily added by the end user. The ones from GX are nice because they have the magnet keeper that isn't quite as easy to come by after market. |

The GX Vice is easily twice the holster of anything else I have attempted to modify with a clamping lever. That certainly hasn’t been ALL of those currently available, but most of the well known names already mentioned in this thread I have messed with or continue to use in some unmodified capacity after the lever didn’t work as well as I thought it should. For holsters that I don’t need to be adjustable there are certainly some comparable options that cost less and don’t have the associated lead times. |

| I bought one of THESE to replace the RHT for my S2. Out of the few competition holsters I've tried this one has a nearly frictionless draw. And the locking system is just tits. |

Either way, it was literally no issue “dealing with Lafe”. If you don’t like the dude, don’t buy his shit, but I don’t have any skin in the game one way or the other. I was only pointing out that the GX Vice holsters that I have used are superior to others that I have attempted to modify to perform in a similar fashion. YMMV. |

If you got them in the advertised time frame, youre lucky. He is known for delivering late and not responding to emails. |
