Problem with Fist #20 IWB
I have been carrying my Kahr P40 in a Fist #20 IWB holster. It is very comfortable with an easy draw/ reholster. Here is the problem; since I have been using this holster I noticed that I need to tighten the screws on the loops almost daily. About three weeks ago, the screw on the rear loop fell out and I could not find it. Fist sent me new screws rather quickly, but it happened again yesterday. Luckily I found the screw.
Has anyone else that owns this holster experienced this?

It is better to have your gun and not need it, than to need it and not have it!
Still can't believe what happened on 11/06/12! Disgusted and disappointed!

I have a FIST #20 close cropped IWB for my CZ 2075. I switched to the snap-on loops for the holster, but still have the screw-on loops for my mag pouch. I've only had the rig for about 2 weeks now, so I don't have a ton of experience, but I have noticed the screws on the mag pouch do seem to be loose every time I put it back on my belt. I haven't had the screws actually fall out yet, though. I'll have to let you know when I have a little more time carrying with the rig.

It is not a huge deal, I was just wondering if any other Fist holster owners had experienced this?

They do make products simialr to locktite, but that doesn't sercure it perm. Check at Lowes or tthe Depot - they should be able to put you in the right direction.

If locktight doesn't work...call Fist and ask to speak to Jim, the owner. He will find a solution for you!
All of my Fist IWB's have the metal clip...no problems...easy on and off!

Locktite comes in different grades, with some being impossible to release, and others providing lessor amounts of grip. Do a bit of research on the amount of torque resistance needed, and choose the appropriate locktite.

Locktite-blue
I had issues w/FIST loops (notice I said HAD-I do not use my #20 anymore
). I substituted my loops for snaps, but because the strap is trimmed close to the snap there is no leverage to open the snap quickly-thus defeating the snap feature
I had to use snaps generously donated by Kevin from KD Holsters to make this thing work right. Now I use KD Dakota.

You could try using some little neoprene O rings under the screw heads. They should hopefully keep enough tension on the screws to prevent them from going loose.
