Title: An early B-day wish from Mr. Leahy

After a miserable week and an even worse day at work I came home to some surprise Fed-Exmass! ;D

Well looky here, this is coming from the great state of AZ and I only know one Leahy with a knack for making gun owners happy!

Fit is tight, with a capital "T". Does anybody know of any good break in procedure? This is looking pretty good if I don't say so myself.  ;D

The best break-in is, to just wear it. Holster leather never shrinks, only stretches. A holster starts it's life as too tight, breaks in, gets too loose, then finally wears until it's flabby and too loose.
Anything that speeds break-in too much, will shorten the life of the holster.



Nice S&W .327  8)

You might try to contact the maker for a break in procedure.
