I read up a bit about stretching leather holsters....
Luckily it's an old one I didn't care about... So if it's completely hosed it's no big deal..
So I had a G17, and I purchased a G21, the G21 has a slightly wider frame, by a fraction of an inch, and it was a chore to snap the retention snap down on it.. Ie. not something I wanted to carry for defensive purposes...
Well, in reading, it says dump the holster in warm water and let it sit for about 30 seconds... Which I did...
The holster curled up a bit, I wrapped the glock in a plastic bag, and forced it into the holster, as the holster had shrunk a wee bit, now tighter than before..
I figured I'd secure the retention strap, and let it sit overnight (as per instructed), but the retention strap is now about 1/2" too short, and I can't for the life of me even make it CLOSE to closing tight..
Help?!
