Holster break in? need input

[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Holster break in? need input

Posted: 2/8/2017 5:23:40 PM EDT

just picked up a new Glock 43 and a Tagua OWB leather holster for it. I have been wearing it all day, the gun goes in a bit tight ...but is a bugger to pull out. I wrapped a few plastic bags around the G43 and pushed it in tight.. gonna let it sit for a bit...just need to stretch it out enough to be able to draw the gun without yanking..
any suggestions? thanks...

Put some neutral shoe polish on the baggies.

Also-- wear it around the house when not doing anything,, give it a little ''break-in'' time. It WILL loosen..... [ double wrap it, if desired ]

I moisten the holster then insert the pistol wrapped in zip locks, with the MS's I have it's taken about three days to get them to where I like.
