Kydex Holster Reforming

[carbine85]

Have any of you guys ever reformed a Kydex holster?
I have a Crossbreed holster for a Taurus PT709. It's half leather and half Kydex. I also have a S&W Shield that almost fits into the Crosbreed holster. It fits snug into a Stoner Leather holster. I was thinking I could simply heat up the Kydex and reshape it.
Any ideas on how to go about doing this?

I've used toaster ovens and professional heat guns before.

I've heated the trigger guard area with a hair dryer just enough to reshape it as needed to increase retention a bit, but nothing more. I would surely ruin one if I attempted to reshape to fit an entirely different gun, but you're probably more skilled than me.

Do you still have the Taurus? If so you could just make a new holster for the S&W. Here's a place to get the supplies if you want. http://www.knifekits.com/vcom/index.php They've got all the kydex supplies you need.
