Bought a Ronin owb for a Beretta 92. Love the way it carries but it's very tight. Really hard to clear the gun from the holster. Thinking about wrapping the gun in saran wrap and putting it in after heating the holster up with a heat gun. Thoughts?

Heat gun is better for precise adjustments.

No need to heat the whole thing for a small change.

Heat gun from harbor freight is less than $10. Hit the trigger guard for a bit; then draw and holster your gun repeatedly. G2G!

Or, put the gun in a sock, and put in the holster, after heating only the trigger guard area of the holster with the heat gun.
