Best way to soften a holster.

[Steely Dan]

When I bought my LCR, I also bought a Galco IWB holster.

When I got it home, I could not get the gun in the holster.

I figured I screwed up and bought the wrong one or they "sewed it up too tight"

I put my pistol in a sandwich bag and shoved it as far in the holster as I could.

Each day it fit better and better. Now, it sits nicely in the holster.

Gun + plastic bag + patience + time = perfect fit.

Thanks to all of you for your replies.

Custom builders will tell you to put your gun in a zip lock bag or similar.
Put the gun in the holster overnight or longer depending your particular holster.

That and use will do what you need.

There was a show on the other night, How it's made, they were making saddles, all they used was water and wrapped the pieces around a form until they dried.

HOLSTER BREAKIN

bring it down to the gunshine state for a glades hog hunt on a hot humid day (anyday). wade through plenty of chest deep water and sweat off 10-12 lbs on it then let dry on your dashboard. both you and the holster will be well broken in.
