Holster Break-in
|
As with most quality leather goods, our holsters may require a brief break-in period as they may initially have a snug fit. This holster is intended to be somewhat rigid, but flexible enough not to cause the wearer discomfort. Flexing the holster may cause the leather to break down and lose it's stiffness. Do NOT tighten your belt down on an empty holster. That may cause it to breakdown and become too loose. For break-in, we suggest simply wearing the holster with an unloaded handgun inserted until the handgun can be drawn with minimum resistance. However, if after several hours of break-in wear, the fit of the handgun is still tighter than desired, place the gun into a plastic baggie. Insert it into the holster and allow it to sit for a day or two. If needed, another baggie can be added until the desired fit is obtained.

Care and Maintenance
Periodically check the tightness of belt loop straps and clips on holsters such as the IWB style. The screws will need to be tightened frequently the first month. Check daily for the first two weeks of use. Light to medium strength thread locking compounds can be used to secure the screws. Remove handgun from holster when not in use. Do not use oils, leather soap or dressings; this may soften the leather and cause the holster to lose its shape. To touch up the finish on your holster, use standard Kiwi shoe polish in the appropriate color. If your holster becomes water soaked, allow it to air dry at room temperature. DO NOT apply heat.
