    I'd try that first, and if it's impossible to flatten without altering the rest of the holster too much, then just cut.

    Auto parts stores sell heat guns (Harbor Freight too). A small one will suffice, it's what I use for holster shaping. Works alot better than a lighter.
    I've got a heat gun. It is my friend.

    Thanks @ViniVidivici and @MDFA
    The heat gun and wood blocks worked like a charm. I got exactly the results I was hoping for. Now to get it back on the Enigma and give it a try.
