Worn Out Safariland 012

For all 6 of you 012 owners out there in Benosville....

Any of you worn out your retention mechanisms yet? I think I might have. I either get full Gorilla draw retention or no retention at all? Should I be pulling the thing apart and lubing the mechanism periodically?

Erik,

I suffered a few wedgies with mine at first!

Although I did put some slide glide on the mechanism, I thought it occurred because of the position of the holster and the fit of the long dust cover gun into the nose piece.

Would love to hear the cause if you find it

P.D.

Well...get this...

Safariland (bless their pea-pickin' little hearts) is sending me out a new locking block free of charge - even though I've clearly worn the holster down to the nub. :o

I'm going to take a look at the mechanism. I think the fingers on mine are just worn out. It has a weird tensioning system that I might go ahead and modify a bit.

Originally, my belt hanger was losing the velcro because it was never sewn on at the factory. Fixing that helped substantially, but I'm still having locking issues. Hopefully the new block will do it. If not, hello CR Speed... :P
