1791 Holsters are

tough to break in.

Just got one for my 686+, I have two bags and 2 pieces of cardboard in with the gun. I'm going to let it sit like this over night and check the fit. Updates to follow.

I wrapped a 1911 of mine in two plastic bags and left it in there for a week. Tighter than dicks hat band still. The one I have for my 686+ with the new front sight is just a range holster. The front sight hangs up on the draw.

The instructions said 15 minutes. Haha. The videos I've watched have been 24 hrs. Thanks for letting me know it may take a week. I did as 1791 said and twisted the gun back and forth as I pushed it in and out. I'm gonna check it tomorrow and keep working it. I want a good holster for when I'm in NY since this is the only gun I have on file up there.

Update:

I spent a day messing with it after it sat overnight with bags and cardboard. It's tight but definitely serviceable now.

I have a holster from 1791 for my Ruger SP101 and I love it. Best I remember, I put the gun in shopping bag and put it in the holster overnight or for 24 hrs. I don't remember, it's been 2 yrs since i did it. But it worked. I plan on getting one for my XD9.
