When I get a new tight fit holster I like to do this. I put the gun in a thin plastic bag like the meat/veggie bags from the grocery store. Then I spray the holster with the "shoe stretch" stuff like you can get from walmart or a shoe store and put the gun in it. The stuff works great, dries in less than an hour, does nothing to damage/mess up the leather in fact you can't tell you ever used it, and the gun then fits perfectly. I have done this on pretty much every holster I have and in fact have done it on a couple of holsters to use them for a larger gun. It does not soften the leather, it just makes it fit the gun better.
