    SME break in?

    Any tips for the best way to break in a new SME? I've emailed 5 Shot Leather, but I haven't heard back. I must be going about this wrong because I can't get it broken in enough to draw the gun while the holster is on my belt.

    Stick the unloaded gun in a plastic bag, insert in the holster and leave it for a couple days. After that I would work on your drawstroke in dryfire for a bit.

    Mine took a bit too, I didn't use the bag though, just worked it a lot.
    Think for yourself. Question authority.

    +1. I have two Sparks Leather holsters for years I could not work in with hundreds of repetitions of pistol in/outs and then saw this advice and it got those holsters serviceable by sitting this way a couple days. Great tip. Which I'd known it years earlier!
