Uh... ok I feel dumb. How does this go on my belt and hold my whip? I can't figure this out. Sorry to take up space with a new forum post. Can someone take a picture of theirs?

Your belt slides through the fixed inner loop. The outer loop goes around the whip. You adjust the loop's opening using the Velcro to get the tightest "hold".
So leaving the snap fastened, open the outer loop from the Velcro side. Place the coiled whip (the way you'll carry it) inside the outer loop, and adjust the Velcro to hold the whip securely. You may have to play with it a bit to see how the whip fits best while actually worn on your belt.

snaps exposed.... or inside facing me? Which side UP? Velcro ends up toward the sky or down toward the ground? Sorry I am not getting this

You've got it, Mojo! Now adjust the Velcro after you place the whip in the "snapped" loop.

I have full size whip - with the whip in the holder should it's weight pull the belt "away" from my body, or do I need to tighten the belt around my waist so that - that doesn't happen?
I know... questions... questions...questions.

Generally, the holster (right) side sags lower than the whip side due to the weight of the loaded pistol. Scene dependent, of course.
I run both the pants belt and gun belt through the whip holder on my left hip. That way the holder stays secured in one place, and the holster side always hangs lower.

Now, how do I grow to 6'1 (that's how tall Harrison Ford is) so that the whip hangs at the right height on my body?

Adjusting the coil size and/or repositioning the handle may help give you the look you want.

I am joking and yes, I have tightened my whip to adjust for my height
