My first Versa Max 2 was that tight. Inserted the 1911 and thought I'd never get it out. I put the holster on the belt and pulled and twisted and it broke loose.

Then I read the instructions Milt Sparks Holsters sent along, and began doing presentations of the unloaded weapon. 100 presentations later, it was drawing just fine.

The plastic bag trick ("blocking") was the next technique on their list. I've only had to do it on one pocket holster. Just be careful not to overdo this, as it cannot be reversed. Leave it only for a short time (a fraction of an hour) and increase the time as nec, to get the desired results. You may or may not need to go with thicker or multiple layers of bags (Sparks has us use the 4 mil zip loc bag the holster comes in).
