What you have said is only true for all leather holsters where the holster must remain stiff and hard in order to maintain it's shape and hold the gun.
In the case of our design we WANT the backer to form to you and be a bit supple, that's part of the reason they are sooo comfortable.
You are not dealing with a traditional holster here and traditional recommendations in general do not apply
