Redrick, there should have been a paper with the holsters that discussed the break in methods. It discusses if the holster is tight, to make several (maybe 25 to 100) presentations from the holster with an unloaded weapon. This is all that has been necessary with my four VM2's (I typically do the 100 draws whether needed or not).

If this doesn't do the trick, their next instruction states to place the unloaded firearm in the bag the holster came in (4 mil plastic) and insert it into the holster. This procedure is called blocking, and lightly stretches the leather to fit. The time needed will be from a few minutes to overnight according to the paper (you want to be sure you don't over do this procedure).

Thumper had the snaps covered, as to the loops, I'd discuss that with the folks at Milt Sparks. They may give you a procedure to loosen them slightly. As for the scratches, I am a bit surprised (mine all arrived looking great) but I suspect they can make that right somehow. I'd give them a call.
