  6. I USED TO THINK THAT PUTTING A SCREW INTO A HOLE WAS SIMPLE NOT TRUE and I HAD ONLY 4 TO PUT INTO PLACE.... THIS PROCESS CAN RUIN A GUN, IF NOT DONE PROPERLY 1st> The thread size; count; depth may or may not match the pistol tap... (It would be nice to be able to assume the supplier would provide a screw that would in fact fit) 2nd> Forcing any of the 4 mis-aligned screws home can warp the bridge...and leave a gap between the bridge and pistol (ALL 4 need to be torqued down evenly) 3rd> Forcing the screw (because you think its a tight fit) can cross thread mis-matched international sizing... IF THE SCREW AND PISTOL TAP are a match THEN proceed to align ALL 4 screws TO THE SAME DEPTH before tightening down the bridge... LENGTH: My RHT screws were maybe 1/32 too short, and I advised RHT Engineers of that fact. I then used my STS C-More screws which matched the tap.. my RHT screws are 1/32 too long for the mount to frame,....won't allow slide to cycle. I am going to trim them with a dremel LENGTH: My RHT screws were maybe 1/32 too short, and I advised RHT Engineers of that fact. I then used my STS C-More screws which matched the EAA tap BETTER

TO SAY THAT THIS INDUSTRY IS NOW UNDER-ENGINEERED, IS TO BE TOO KIND
  8. FIST98 has taken the order and will provide a Leather Holster in about 6 weeks..
  9. How to get a holster for my 6" Witness Hunter w/STS I asked fist98@aol.com if I could provide a pistol mold and holster prototype...They agreed.. WOOD PISTOL BLANK: Process, shaped a 1" plank to profile; Then laminated a 1/4" panel to make thickness; Then laminated panel to duplicate Scope Bridge... Lots of wood working, but fun to do.. HOLSTER MOCK UP: NO, I am not going postal, But the old postal cardboard was easy to shape with a hot glue gun... Finally with a few more USER FRIENDLY modifications it ready to ship to FIST
  10. This is my status on how to get a holster for my 6" Witness Hunter w/STS fist98@aol.com advised that I could send them my pistol...Ouch not a good idea I asked if I could provide a pistol mold for making the holster...They agreed.. OK: That being done...its time to design a holster.. NO, I am not going postal... SEE MY NEW POSTING: "CANT FIND ONE - THEN MAKE ONE"
  11. When you find one, let us know. I can only find a "universal", that doesn't allow the red dot. I have eMailed with fist98@aol.com and have agreed to provide them with a shaped wood block for leather casting of the 6" Witness Hunter w/ STS.. I am looking for a Open top hip holster, for my Military web belt & suspender rig.
