This video provides a quick tip for breaking in a new leather holster that is too tight for immediate use. Instructor Roy demonstrates how to use 'Leather Lightning,' a silicon-based lubricant from Mitch Rosen, to condition the inside of the holster.

This guide details a common method for breaking in new holsters, particularly those that are intentionally manufactured tight for a secure fit.

This technique ensures a proper retention level where the firearm remains secure when inverted but can still be drawn effectively.
This guide details a common method for breaking in new holsters, particularly SOB (Sheriff of Baghdad) brand holsters, to achieve a proper, secure fit.
