I put my pistol in a heavy duty plastic freezer bag, put the pistol in a dampened holster, lay holster on apiece of 1/8 rubber on the diamond side of the vacuum bag (to keep diamond pattern from getting embossed into the leather) vacuum seal it and leave sealed for a couple hours. It comes out looking like you spent hours fitting it. I build up the front sight with tape and tape a wooden dowel along the sight line( between front and rear sight) to create a tunnel.

Re: Holster part 2
I make my own holsters also. One trick I learned for a custom fitted holster, is use a food vacuum sealer.
