Zerobulk® Holster FAQ

 
Should my Zerobulk® Holster fit a little tight?

There is a short "break-in" period and upon initial use, the Zerobulk® Holster will be tight fitting. The Zerobulk® Holster will loosen up and conform to your firearm over a 3-5 day period. During this time, you may see some shavings from the barrel retention rod. This is a completely normal process during the break in period. You can apply a small amount of gun oil to all sides of the Zerobulk® Holster’s retention rod, and also leave the Zerobulk® Holster in the firearm for 24-48 hours to expedite this process.
