I love the ALS and ALS/SLS hosters, but they do neet a little break in, in my experience mostly to knock down seams and edges on the interior that catch on sharp edges of the gun.
A few minutes of drawing drills a day will have that holster smooth as can be. My G21 drops right in to my 6360, no downward pressure required. |

You may also want to play with the tension adjustment screw, on the side of the holster. It may be cranked down tight.
And yeah, the ALS holsters need a short break in to smooth out the lining. They get better with age. |

They get better with age. I have that screw so loose that it rattles when the gun is out of the holster, but just a little tight when the gun is holstered. I practiced drawing and shooting at the range for about an hour today, it is getting looser. I think in the next week or two I'll have it as loose as I want it. |

You can also stick your gun inside a thin sock or plastic bag and place it in the holster for a couple days. Some folks have advocated spraying the inside of the holster (the suede lining) with silicone spray. I do the opposite: I use a silicone gun cloth to wipe my pistols down at least once a week. Over time, that silicone will transfer to the suede lining and make for a slick draw. YMMV, just a couple more thoughts. |
