Aside from keeping it holstered all the time (for now), what's the best way to loosen up a bit on the fit of this holster with a pistol (Gen4 Glock19 on a Size 3)?

The best way to break a holster in for your gun is, wrap your gun in wax paper, place the gun wrapped into the holster over night. Take out the gun, remove the paper and your gun will now be fitted to the holster.

Mine loosened up after just a couple of weeks. I only holstered my weapon when I was actually carrying, otherwise the holster was left empty. The holster is made of good quality leather, so it will form and loosen pretty quickly.

As far as i know, just keeping it holstered is the best way to break it in. In a month or so it will have a perfect fit and loosen up.

Place the pistol in a thick dress sock,and press it into the holster . Let it sit for a day. Then wax the holster inside and out. I use minwax paste finishing wax/natural.

Naturally breaking a leather holster in (wearing it, holstering and unholstering) is the best way. You should not use any substance to break it in so you don't make the leather too soft that it will collapse when you unholster. It'll make it very difficult to holster your weapon. Hindsight 20/20 I would've bought a kydex iwb instead.

Like John said, if you use a size 6, it will be snug. I would look around. Go to your local gun shop. Most will let you go through the holsters to see what works for you; at least mine did.

If it is too tight you can wrap your gun in wax paper, with the wax away from the gun. Draw the gun a few times and this will wax the holster giving it a nice slide. My PT145 pro fits perfect.

I have a Sig SP2022 9mm and I got a size 6. At first it was snug, I have it in this holster 24/7, and now it fits perfect. It just took some time to stretch out to it.

I have a sub compact 9mm Glock 26 & fits perfectly! You can look @ specs I'm thinking there exact or close. Great holster getting hard to find.

My glock 19 and an extra magazine fits in it well. You might have a tight fit and it may take some adjusting, but it's worth a try as the planner/holster would accept lots of guns. I LOVE mine and use it regularly. Hope you'll enjoy yours, and it will meet your needs well. Respectfully with all best wishes. Andy

On these type of holsters the manufacturer will tell you to heat that area with a hair dryer or heat gun andPry it apart slightly with a screwdriver until you achieve the desired tension. When it cools, it will retain the adjusted shape. It doesn't take much, little at a time. I have done this to several and it works great.

Refer to Uncle Mike's pistol fit chart. It will give you the right fit holster for the pistol you have.

That was tricky. I bought a standard nylon holster, but had to cut away the treads of the holster, up by the end of the barrel, to get the pistol in. Anyway...it worked.

what you do, is you select size, start from the largest number they have, once you click that, read underneath where it says right hand or left hand and it will tell you what pistol it fits. Kind of a dumb way to do it, but, that is how they have it set up. good luck my friend! and also, when you train with it, make sure your finger is FLAT and not curved in as Ayoob teaches, as it will not work well with this holster, but, it is a damn fine holster, you will love it if you still need help, give me a call 918-269-3122 Bob

Sorry, can't help. I sold my 709 and the holster with it. I had not used the holster in a while, but recall it being very tight and stiff

I added the "pinkie extender" to all 3 of my gen 4 glock 26 magazines and had to remove one so it would fit. You would have to ask "sneaky pete" if they plan to modifiy their holster.

Use the adjusting screw to tighten the holster down to whatever release tension you require

This Glock holster has a retention design that makes it difficult to remove the pistol unless it is pulled straight up with a "snap". Tugging on the pistol to remove it is difficult for some people. Try pulling the pistol straight up with a quick "snap" movement and gradually over time the retention will loosen slightly.

I use size 6 for my Glock 22 Gen 4 which is the same size as a Glock 17. I wouldn't know about the Glock 19.

It's really snug fit on my....I have shot like 300 rounds through and 0 slippage.BUT there maybe more or less 1 8" of an inch gap from the bottom of the grip to the top of the adapter on my gen 4 G26 using a gen 4 G19 15 round mag they advertised that it fits gen 4 but they really fit perfect on gen 3 G26 but I do not mind I use it at the range not my carry overall I love it it's really comfortable and cool looking 2

Pearce makes an insert just for the gen 4 glocks only, Have one in my 19 and fits just fine.
