New Don Hume holster
I just got a New don Hume paddle for my glock 23..
It is really tight and hard to get the snap closed and I have to push down real hard to get gun deeper in holster. What can I do to loosen it up and make it so I can draw and reholster and snap it easier. any and all help would be appreciated

One way is to wrap the gun in wax paper and let it sit for a few hours and check for retention after that. It may take overnight though to get the right fit.

I miss my Hume J.I.T. slide. Went with my G30 to a good owner though.

I had the same problem and got the answer from this forum. I wrapped my gun in a plastic bag that another holster had come in and forced it in to holster. Left it for a couple of days, and wow, problem solved.
This after sending it back to holster maker (DeSantice) with no solution. Joe |

Most holster manufacturers make their leather holsters snug because they know they are going to stretch. Most recommend the baggie or waxed paper trick.

Something i have done in the past is taking 2 or 3 plastic grocery bags.
Also, a thin sock. As weird as it sounds, I tried the 2 bags, then 3 , and then just put on a sock. It did the trick overnight.
