1. Your new holster may be very tight when you receive it. If so, wrap your unloaded firearm in
wax paper, seran wrap, or plastic bags and insert it into the holster. Remove it after a few seconds
and check the fit. If it still needs loosened, leave the wrapped firearm inserted for longer, overnight if
necessary. You can also add layers of wrap, to speed the process. Another method is to simply
use the holster. Being leather, it will mold itself to your firearm over time with use.
2. If your holster doesn’t seem to fit properly, contact UBG Holsters or your holster maker for
further instructions.
3. If you desire to shine your leather products, use only a paste wax, such as kiwi in the flat
cans. Buff to a shine. Never oil molded leather. It will soften the leather and take away retention.
4. Always remove your firearm from your holster when you aren’t wearing it. The leather needs
to breath and any moisture that may have collected needs to evaporate.
5. Never allow your holster to be flattened. The molding procedure leaves the holster 3
dimensional and it needs to stay this way. If it becomes flattened at any point, you can expect it to
stay flattened.
6. If you need to remove your gun, for more than a brief moment, remove your holster from your
body. Without your gun, your holster will be more apt to become flattened and lose its rigidity. This
is especially important if you wear your belt cinched tight or anticipate sitting or bending over without
your gun in the holster.
7. If your holster becomes wet for any reason, remove it as soon as possible. Ensure the holster
shape is maintained by pressing around your unloaded firearm. Carefully remove your firearm and
gently set your holster aside to dry, under a fan, if possible (don’t forget to dry and oil your gun, rust
is ugly).
