I have a tight Fobus KTP-11 and read about a fix that I am going to try. I will remove the rivet closest to the trigger. Buy a #8, 1/2" long bolt with a #8 washer and a locking nut. Insert the washer in between the 2 panels and run the bolt through the rivet holes and the washer and tighten with the locking bolt. The washer will spread out the molded plastic around the trigger making it easier to draw.
I hope my description here is clear and this helps. I will report back once I find the hardware. I am 25 miles from a Lowes, and 35 from a Home Depot, so it is a bit of a trip for me.
Do or not, there is no try!
Let us know how it works.
I sold mine to Tatters a while back.

Today, I took out the rivet closest to the trigger and tried it without anything in the rivet hole. It works fine with no bolt in that hole. Not sure if it would hold the gun while running rolling etc, in a tactical situation. It does hold well enough to hold it in place in the holster. I can't turn it over and dump my gun out of the holster very easily with that rivet removed.
Next step, I will try and find a thin #8 washer. Too thick and it may not hold my gun in the holster well enough.
