If the holster is still too tight after a day or two with the sandwich bag/sweatsock/whatever, another trick that works well is to get the leather warm - NOT hot, just warm.

Turn on your oven to it's lowest setting (around 100 F or so) put the gun in freezer bag in the holster, put 'em both in the oven for a few minutes - long enough to get it warm. If you leave it in too long the leather can get brittle.

If that doesn't work you can get the holster damp, put the gun in a freezer bag and in the holster (not the oven this time). Leave it until it dries. Depending the finish, this'll most likely make it ugly.
