I don’t want to ‘break it in’ so to speak, I rather like the fact at how secure the pistol is inside the holster. I don’t have to worry about it falling out at an inopportune time. (Like there would be a good time for that to happen!)
Thank you for all the information and feedback on the Kramer holsters.

Clear the weapon, put all ammo and loaded mags away, and practice draw strokes and dry fire, with your normal clothing. A mirror is useful to check for printing and concealment issues. Do not use it to find the weapon or to help draw it.
If you think it is too tight when you finish, you can degrease the pistol and apply a light coat of car wax, but you seem to be happy with the retention as is. It will loosen slightly over time.
Enjoy!
