One final fit suggestion, wet the holster good and put your pistol in a waterproof bag and stick it into the holster to make it set into the configuration of the gun. Let it dry with the pistol in the plastic bag.

It's very easy. I bought a 1' square for less than $10 and made a holster and mag pouch.

It was a knife supply store in an industrial park up near Katy. A buddy drove so I don't remember exactly where. Next time I'll buy online because the gas and time saving but the first time it was good to see and feel the different thicknesses. I used .06" for my IWB holster and that works good.
