Leather Holster Care
Just acquired a used leather shoulder holster and have applied leather conditioner, nice. It is, however, somewhat snug on my 92X. Is there a way to help it draw smoother?

Wrap a plastic bag around the pistol, and shove it into the holster. Let it sit for 24 hours. If still too tight, lightly swab some rubbing alcohol on the inside of the holster, and repeat with the plastic bag routine. Again, leave the pistol in the holster for 24 hours before removing.
Cheers, Bill.

You got it shaped, now use Leather New lightly and buff..Alcohol will clean and dry but leave a residue that Leather New will dilute. Keep in mind that most oil will leak out on your clothes on a warm day.
