I have a stiff leather holster that it a tight fit with my '75 Uberti Remmy. The ejector is the offender. Any ideas to 'sweat-in'? It is a handmade holster I traded from a SASS leather guy.

Thanks,

A simple task... wrap the gun in Saran wrap or shrink wrap jip lock bag will do to...
I also lik to spray ashot of WD40 on the gun.
I use warm water for the tap and either hold the toe or if it has plug fill with warm water and allow to stand about 30 seconds.
pore out the water put the wrapped gun in side..work it a bit around the barrel etc. and allow the gun to sit in the holster about a hour or so... pull the gun out ... and allow to dry for a day or two...
When dry a bit of lexal in side don't soak but apply well.
check with the unwrapped gun....

Some use Bore Butter... it work also
when planets align...do the deal !
