I would start by filling the holster with warm water and letting it soak for a few min. Then dump it out and let it dry. If it is still loose soak it longer next time. Too tight wrap your pistol in plastic wrap and let it sit for a few days (dry).
Thanks. Well do.

Soaked it in hot water, then hung it over the fire place mantle.
Tighten up nicely.
Wish it worked on women.
