Jp, With the stock held in you lap...Holster away..stock in between. Stock iron down. Straps around the back of your neck. Take the right strap, insert it into the top right slot. Stretch out 6 inches or so..insert this end into the right hand top side of the stock block that is attached to the holster. Push the end down into the slot. When it comes out the bottom, pull it thru and insert the end of the strap into the inside bottom slot and this will protrude towards you. Grasp this end and pull it towards you. You will have threaded the strap properly. The left strap is of course done the same way to the left set of 2 slots.
The ends of the straps will come up and lay flat onto itself. These are worn next to the body when the pistol is carried.
The stock block on the pistol with the straps properly affixed will simply disapear into the stock recess when you pull it all snug. Once you determine the proper way this is done..it will seem very simple.
Take a look at the last photo in the 1st photo set. You can see the strap properly threaded.
