Hey guys I have a Raven kydex holster for my USP45C that is a bit too loose for my taste. Gun doesnt "snap" in real good like it should.

How can I tighten it up? Heat it up with a hairdryer I heard about somewhere? I could send it back to raven but want to avoid that if there is a simple fix

Place the unloaded handgun in the holster, heat with hairdryer and press form the kydex to the handgun.
do not let the kydex turn glossy as its on the verge of actually melting....

Please email customer service at gearinfo@ravenconcealment.com and we will arrange having your holster adjusted for you. Adjustments are not subject to a wait-time, so you'll only be with your holster for a few days.

I do this to tighten-up my Crossbreeds and custom kydex ESEE sheaths.
