Larry,
Someone posted that they solved this by having a friend make them
a routed out piece of wood to place the bp on. I went one step
further by having the machine shop where I work make me one out
of quarter inch g10 material. It is working out really nice and
is a lot less intrusive than feeties would be, for those of us who
wear it on our belts that is.
I am headed to Home Depot today and will look for an appropriate
size stick on then I can try out though, as it would be one less
thing to lug around.
