When i got my pancake holster back in 1982 it was so stiff I could hardly get my 1911 out of it.

I simply greased the holster up with saddle soap, wrapped the pistol in saran wrap, slid pistol in place and let the whole thing set for about a week. After it set, I pulled the pistol out and cleaned the excess soap off.

I still use the holster on a daily basis.
