KindredGhost Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 (edited) Greetings Gang! I have a Guga Ribas holster for my 2011. The problem with it is that even with the bolts properly tightened, the holster still moves around the ball joint. I've emailed their customer support but haven't heard anything (times like this make me wish I spoke Portuguese.) How can I fix this?

MikeBurgess Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 (edited) easy fix would be to take the loose side off and file the flat area where the 2 halves come together down a little so you can tighten it a little more Edited August 7, 2019 by MikeBurgess spelling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kk4364 Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 Or take it apart and add material to the "ball" portion that it locks onto, making it snug with less torquing. Sent from my SM-G975U using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my SM-G975U using Tapatalk I like the idea of adding material. Any ideas what to add or how to add it? -kg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aandabooks Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 Electrical tape would probably do the trick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kk4364 Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 Jb weld or some hard 2 part epoxy, something you can shape after it hardens. Sent from my SM-G975U using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mayassa Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 That is weird from customer support. I had 1 screw that was stripped on mine " maybe my fault" sent them a email and they sent a new holster in 3 days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I looked at mine and I have a small gap on each side and it's rock solid. Just sand off some material on each half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just sand off some material on each half. That’s what I did to mine and put a layer of black electrical tape where it clamps on to the ball.

KindredGhost Posted August 9, 2019 Author Share Posted August 9, 2019 Good as new guys! Turns out the two pieces that surround the ball joint are made of plastic. I used fine sandpaper to sand it down a bit... it's now tight as a drum! Thanks everyone! -KG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigboy69 Posted August 12, 2019 Share Posted August 12, 2019 You have the bolts in backwards to start off. The one side is cut for the nuts to set into. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really? one side should be flat with the cutout being round for the hex head to set into and the other side should have cutouts for the nut to set into.
