bianchi x88 too tight for p-89

[dunnthat]

I bought a bianchi shoulder holster and it grips the gun too tight. It is not only hard to draw, but hard to reholster as well. Is there any way to "stretch" the holster to better fit? I feel it is a metal spring inside the leatherwork that is the culprit.

find something larger than the p89 but close to the same shape... think of the P89 with about a 1/8" -1/4" of duct tape wrapped around it... soak the holster for a day in water then jam the fax pistol in it and let it dry....

that's one choice, the other is to just keep the pistol in the holster for a while, it will probably loosen up some... better to be too tight than too loose.

I have often used the "platic bag" method. Put your pistol in a plastic freezer bag and let it sit in the holster overnight. Check fit and repeat as necessary.
