    Got a 6" rig for my GP 100. I'm very impressed with the quality of the leather and its construction. A very (too) tight fit that will surely ease up a bit with use.

    If you need a holster, give this one a look.

    Wrap a sandwich bag or saran wrap around your gun and leave it in the holster for a day or two. It will stretch and be good to go.

    I was about to post something similar. I wrap the gun, then I wet the holster though and let it dry. After that, I re-treat the leather with neetsfoot oil.

    I used a ziplock bag for a few hours just to see if I could get a proof of concept in that short time, and the draw is already smoother. I'm sure it'll contract a bit, but I'll play around with it until I get it where I want it.

    Thanks for the tip. :thumbsup:

    Cool. Good to go. Do not use talc powder or anything else. You will be fine with the plastic and use.

    I am late to this party. Forget the plastic bag and wetting, etc... place the pistol in a dress sock, holster it and should be good to go the next day.
