Versacarry Arma Holster

[gdr_11]

I bought a Versacarry Arma holster for my Taurus G2C. Using their onlinecsizing guide, the G2C is supposed to fit in the size 3 holster.

When my holster arrived, I massaged the still leather and worked the pistol in and out several times but the trigger guard does not want to slide in.

Anyone got any tips? I thought about oiling the inside like a baseball glove or maybe using a steel bar to work the bottom edge like using a broom handle on a boot.

Generally I put my pistol in the holster, then put the holster on. After wearing it half a dozen times and I can get it in the holster while wearing it but not easily. I figure drawing will be the more important action anyway.

I agree though, they could have done that a little better. They look good though.

Put your UNLOADED pistol in a baggy that completely encapsulates the firearm. Push the pistol, in the baggy, into the pistol and let it remain there overnight. Do that a couple of days. If you have to force the pistol too hard it is likely a mismatch on the holster. Call Versacarry.

Thanks! I will try the baggie idea

Never oil a leather holster.

Never oil a leather holster.

I thought so, but this is honestly the first holster I have ever bought that was not a perfect fit. I guess the unique design is part of the issue

I have 3 versacarry, one of each size. Unload the gun, put in the holster as far as it will go and twist several times.

I tried CharlieWH2O's suggestion with the plastic baggie and it worked like a charm! My G2C is resting comfortably in the Arma where I will leave it for a day or two and then repeat.

I always wonder where some of these ideas come from, but nothing like a helpful tip!

This one reminds me of the time many years ago when I was working on a project putting 4" screws into hardwood stringers and my old neighbor came over and told me to dip the screws into dish soap before I drove them home. There is a trick to almost everything.

I would not seal the baggie or your gun may get condensation on it.
