I'm with the above posters; the design of the Blackhawk angle system makes it so at least two screws must be completely removed and one loosened for the angle to change. Must be some sort of flaw in the position indexers. I personally would like one that didn't have only the 3 positions, but where you could have any angle.

I agree with this. I can only think he means these screws.

No, these 3, for angle adjustment.

That's what I thought you were talking about. Those "crescent" indents are there for the exact reason of not allowing it to change angle even in the screws are loose. It must be a manufacturing defect, or if it's an old holster, they could have gotten worn down somehow and now wont stop movement. I've never heard of that problem happening before.

It has been a problem since it was new and I only bought it 3 years ago. The screws actually fell out before I started using loctite. Now they just back off enough to allow a little slop. I might need to use something more permanent than loctite...
