On kydex holsters, I hit them very briefly back and forth with a heat gun. Then insert gun (or knife) multiple times to ensure proper fit, then let cool with knife or gun in place.

I've never ruined one doing it this way. (Or with the missus' hair dryer if the heat gun wasn't available.)

Blues, me too, however this insert is nylon and not kydex. I don't know how the nylon will react to heat. It might disform the shape in ways you don't want.

Mike, thanks for taking the time to answer with a photo. I learned long ago to use my thumb as you show here. I'd still like to loosen it up a little. I completely understand you have to be careful to protect the company from people compromising your product with modifications and then blaming you. I was just hoping somebody has come up with a simple solution. I'll try one more... what about armor all on the nubs inside the sheath than makes contact with the knife handle. Has anyone tried that? Can anyone foresee a reason not to try it? Thanks so much. EDIT: wondering if Rain X might be better that Armor All??

Don't have one, but you mentioned nubs, so sounds like it might be similar to Cold Steel's SecureEx sheaths. Have seen multiple posts where people sand down the nubs a bit. Just be careful not to go too far.
 
I haven't looked at mine closely. mine don't feel overly tight. maybe the plastic can be bent to ease it a bit. it's fairly soft plastic on the inside part of the sheath. I'll look tonight. I'd think light heat like a hair dryer, could change the mold tightness. I'd be careful though so ya don't ruin it.
