I don't think that Don Hume holsters are unique for one particular model of gun, so this technique may give you a more custom fit.thankGod wrote:FWIW,
I put my Don Hume in a sink of warm water for about 30-45 seconds. Put the gun in a ziplock freezer bag, shoved the gun and bag into the holster, and kneaded around the slide and trigger guard for about half and hour. Set it aside for about a day and a half, and voila! Perfect fit.

Re: Stretching leather holsters
I have noticed that some people want to "break in" their holsters by bending and kneading them until they are soft and pliable. For premium holsters, as Mike1951 calls them, I believe that this defeats the whole purpose of molding and boning a holster to the exact shape of the gun.
It seems to work for HV, but the manufacturer of ArmorAll doesn't recommend using it on leather products. Maybe he should repackage it and sell it on-line as "Holster Slick."
