What methods have you all used to be able to unholster your p238? The holster is to small.

I baby oiled mine or something to condition it....it will stretch but still is not a easy to upholstery as a polymer one...leather just has friction...practice helps too...but is secure also.....is a catch 22

I used a good leather softener on the exterior, and soaked the inside with gun oil, Put my gun inside a ziplock bag.. and holstered it for a few days in my sock drawer.. Brought some life back into the leather and made it fit alot better.. Then wiped away excess oil.. Cheers! Shane

I can stuff my wife's glock 19 in it and it zips up, though a tad snug. Would not want to pull it quick. My Sig P238 is a loose fit and should be tighter for a confident draw.

LOL That changes everything when they pull the 'ol "manufacturer-changed the-handgun-design trick. Glad you made it work anyway. I love mine. Bought one for my Glock 23 many years ago and still use it today. Bought my wife a G42 and got her a Fobus too. I almost bought one for my P95 without calling them to make sure and was glad I did. I would have had the wrong one. Good luck brother!

Steve, That seems odd to me. I have been carrying an airweight revolver in the holster for over a year now and the barrel does not come through. This has been in my jeans every single day and the holster looks brand new. I also have a P238 in the DeSantis holster and while I rarely carry it, the barrel does not stick out. It sounds like you do have the wrong size for the P238 because these are excellent holsters. Did you carry a larger weapon in the holster before?

It does, just, but I prefer something with more coverage, both for more trigger coverage and less printing. Check out Uncle Mike's holsters. Amazon has them or you could go by your local gun shop and find what works best with your P238 and your pocket.

Try loosening the screws that hold the sheath to the belt loop. That was a problem mine had too. Almost to much retention.

Perhaps you could get it in the holster, but it sure won't be a proper fit. Also this holster has a spare magazine pocket, completely useless to you. Return it and get the correct one.

BTW, you can reform Kydex with the heat from a good hairdryer. I reformed this holster for my m&p; 9,and it fits perfectly.

I'm sorry, but I don't use that type of holster. I use a nylon holster. Sorry I was not able to help!

I imagine you could stipple it with a heating iron. Search YouTube for videos on ways to stipple Glock pistols.

If this helps. I don't know the size of a P238, but I have a KelTec PF9, I use a size 0-"zero" blackhawk holster and it fits perfect. With a little research on comparison sizes, you should get your answer. The keltec pf9 is one of the smallest 9mm's. Hope I have been of some help; fellow gun owner.

Bruno I would suggest that You try to find someone or a gun dealer in your area that has the Fobus holster and would allow you to try it out. Preferably this would be at a range where you can see how well it retains your firearm and how easy it is to draw from.

Put some silicone spray or "armor-all" on a rag and wipe down the inside of the holster. Then wipe dry. The holster will be perfect.

Get the LARGE holster. I need that even for my G26, which is smaller than G23. It is not sewn on to the shirt. The holster is a separate piece that attaches to the shirt via very heavy duty Velcro. You can attach how you like - up, down, forward, to the rear, canted or straight. A very versatile shirt holster.

I purchased the extra small for a springfield XD9 subcompact. And it worked fine. Then purchased a leather for OWB. And now use it for a Sig P232SL, and it works great. Doesn't take up much room IWB. But once you remove the hand gun, I have to undo my belt to replace the gun. But works well. They recommend not having a round in the chamber when carrying.

I have two of these holsters, one for my LC9 and one for my Sr40c and both have leather paddles, BUT, be aware that the leather is very stiff from the molding process, I softened mine with an abundance of mink oil leather conditioner before I began to use them. I felt they were too abrasive in the beginning and didn't want to mar the finish on my slide.

If it's on the phone, get a thin file and pry it from one of the edges. If it's on the holster, similar way, but off the clips on the holster.
