    The little screw that holds the left clip onto the leather keeps loosening on me. No matter how much I tighten it, the same one just loosens after a couple days.
    Anyone else have this problem?

    I'm thinking of using loc-tite this time.

    Every now, and then I check mine for loose screws. Sometimes I have to snug them up a bit, but nothing major. There are different flavors of loc-tite according to strength level. I would use the lowest strength level (blue maybe ?) to help hold everything in place.

    A dab of blue loc-tite should take care of that problem.

    This is why some holster makers, like Raven, avoid the use of tension screws. If you mold an all-kydex holster properly, the tension won't need adjusting. However, with leather-kydex hybrids, the leather does soften and give over time, so I see the inclusion of tension screws as an advantage. They just take a bit of looking after.

    If you are going to use loctite as others have said go with the blue. The top screw on my Blade Tech does the same thing. I just check it every day when I get home.
