I've seen lots of Galco holsters that were very tight to start with, and their thumbbreaks are particularly notorious. I guess that leather tab shrinks a bit while it's sitting on the shelf.

What you want to do with the strap is to really pull tight on it as you wrap it around the gun, then keep the pressure on while you try to line up the snap. A lot of guys will just lay the strap across the gun normally, then struggle trying to snap it because they didn't take up all the "slack". Once you've got it snapped just leave it in the gun for a few days and the strap will stretch enough so that eventually you won't have any trouble snapping it normally.
