Just to give a picture of how bad it can get if someone without knowledge should fix the holster.. Let me tell you of the only LP08 holster I have ever owned. It was in great shape, except a tear in one of the belt loops. Barely holding the loop together. I went to a saddler with it, and we agreed that he should change both to make colours matching.
When I received the holster, he attached them not like loops, but straight on if you understand what I mean. It was impossible to even stick a little finger under them, and was much to narrow for a normal belt! Sold the holster later on for less than half of what I paid for it.. lesson learned for me
