Assuming it is made for the 1911 place it in a thin plastic bag, and try to force it into the holster. Leave it there overnight and check it. If not loose enough to draw from do it again. Wax paper is also recommended.
A few recommend placing in the holster and putting it in the safe for a week or so. That is too slow for me, but a new holster by a good maker will be too tight when first received.
Do not put anything on it to loosen it up.That will ruin the holster.
Are you sure it is made for your 1911? Who is the maker?
