Default How to source Galco Tension Screws

The Search function is not working for me rite now, so I must ask this. I am missing the Tension Assembly from my Galco SCT158 IWB holster. Galco's site doesn't show it as a replacement part. Can anyone suggest a source or a workout for this? Thanks for any and all replies.........

Call them, it's been my experience that holster companies usually send this kind of stuff for free when you pay shipping if you tell them you have their product and need a simple screw or something.

The holster you mention does not have a tension screw so you must be wanting to add one. These are just 8-32 teenuts and a matching 3/4" screw called a flat head screw. The industry uses Allen heads for no good reason; use a finish head screw with a finish washer under it despite the slotted head. Inside around the screw threads is a common sheet metal grommet about 3/8" diameter. All at Home Depot.

I lost a tensioning screw assembly out of a Galco mag carrier. Called them to buy replacements and they just sent me some gratis.
