Tight fit for h&k usp 45 compact tactical - BlackHawk Nylon Special Operations Holster

Removed velcro thumb release strap and placed on inside. Tried to get HK in and it required some strong hand work. I have it in the holster and pulled the weather cover over it and cinched it down tight. Im letting it sit that way for a week. If things are still too tight I am going to wet holster and put pistol in plastic bag. I like the design and strength Im willing to play with it a bit. Who knows it might be a custom holster when Im done? LOL Compact Tactical is not so compact but what a shooter.
