Weak snaps on holster

[GOTOGUY]

I have a Don Hume in the waistband holster that the snaps have weakened throughout the years. They still snap, but they've loosened a bit. Is there any way to "tighten" the snaps?

You could probably run by Tandy Leather or Hobby Lobby and buy a kit and snaps and replace them yourself.

Yes, old snaps can often be tightened up,,,
I've done it many times.

Place the ring side of the loose snap on a flat metal surface,,,
Protect the other side with a cloth or scrap of leather,,,
Tap the snap with a mallet to flatten the ring a bit.

Don't get carried away or you'll flatten it too much,,,
It doesn't take much at all.

Just super glue the dang things shut and run your belt through them. MUCH more secure this way.
