This repro 1911 cavalry holster fit my various 1911s over the years without an issue. I carried with it in the Mojave desert when hiking and exploring.
I got it out today and could barely get my CMP 1911 in it, it has shrunk so much. It took both hands to shove the pistol in, and forget about drawing it back out again! Its been years since I used it, and it hung in a hot and dry garage when not being used. I had to ditch the WW2 pistol belt, it seems it shrank too and no longer fits my waist for some unknown reason.
Other than storing a 1911 in it to stretch it out, any suggestions on loosening it up?
