My method is quite similar to Major 2. If your going to shoot CAS, and you want to get your chosen pistol out and on target clean and
smooth, the LAST thing you want is a SOFT holster. You actually want the holster to hold it's shape and allow the gun to come out
quickly and smooth.
When I run into a tight holster, I use a funky shaped piece of stiff leather that sorta approximates the shape of a gun, it's stiff and about
1/8 inch thick. I stick the piece of leather into a ZipLoc bag along with the appropriate type gun (gun lightly oiled). I then well wet the
INSIDE of the holster with hot tap water, stuff the bagged gun in, wiggle it a bit to seat it and let it set until dry. DO NOT DRY under a
hot light bulb. Usually, I let it dry 2 days.
