Use and Maintenance

Before first use, adjust the passive retention screw to achieve the desired holding force, then practice drawing with an unloaded weapon. Clean the holster regularly with lukewarm soapy water and allow it to air dry. Periodically check the tightness of the screws and the proper functioning of the Auto Lock mechanism.
