Frequently Asked Questions

How do you break in a tight holster for a firearm?

To break in a tight holster, wrap the front of your firearm with Saran Wrap, starting with about five layers. Insert it into the holster and let it sit for 24 hours to a week. This gradually stretches the holster material for a perfect fit without compromising retention.

What is the proper retention test for a firearm holster?

A proper holster retention test involves holding the firearm in the inverted holster with a loaded magazine inserted. The firearm should remain securely in place, demonstrating adequate retention, but still allow for a smooth and quick draw when needed.

What materials can be used to adjust a tight holster fit?

Besides Saran Wrap, you can use parchment paper or even cardboard cut to the shape of your firearm. The goal is to create a shim that gradually stretches the holster material over time, allowing for a custom fit.

How long should a firearm be left in a holster for break-in?

The break-in period for a holster can range from 24 hours to a full week, depending on how tight the holster is and how much stretching is required. It's a gradual process to ensure the holster material is not damaged and maintains proper retention.
