fire suppressor

Yesterday I was going over my XD making sure everything was clean and moving smoothly. Satisfied with my results I decided to wear it proud to my mail box. As I went to put it back in my serpa black hack holster I noticed it felt a little lose. After some investigating I discovered that over the past three years the retention level screw on the side of the holster had loosened to the point where there was no retention at all! I found with a safe and unloaded XD that anyone could have been able to come up to me at any angle and would not have had any trouble pulling my XD out of my holster! It only took me a minute to find my screw driver and properly adjust the screw and that one minute could possibly save my life one day. The looseness I felt in the holster was defiantly new and noticeable so I don't think it had been that way for long. I don't know how many of us think about holster maintenance on a daily basis but wanted to share my story with the group and stress giving your holster what ever kind it may be a good detailed exam once and awhile.
