buzz_knox,
I may have an idea of where that scratch is coming from. I believe it's from the thumb break. Look on the back of the flap of leather (the part that goes around the back of the hammer/slide). On the inside surface (the part that is touching the slide), you'll see the back of the button of the snap, which should be the "male" end of the snap. If there is not plastic button cover between the slide and the back of the button, then it is the metal button rubbing against the rear left of the slide that's causing the scratches. I've had the same problem with 2 Rosen holsters.
Call them up and ask them to send you some of those plastic button inserts. I did, and they sent me a few.
Somehow, they keep forgetting to put those things in before shipping.
And yes, Rosen's holsters are very tight...will take a while to break in. Leather Lightening will help a bit. I don't think it's necessary for him to make them that tight though. Especially on a holster with a thumb break.
