Squeaky Holster

[Deersniper270]

I have a crossbreed mini tuck leather/kydex holster and it has started to squeak when I wear it. Does anyone else have this issue? How do y'all condition your holsters?

With leather use baby powder .is that one leather backed or neopream ( spelling ? ) baby powder has mineral oil base . Hope this helps .maxfold

It's all leather. Yeah I was wondering what to use besides leather oil because I feel it would make it wet or weak. It's a hard leather so I don't want to soften it up. I'll try the baby powder

What do you know. It was the first question on the FAQ list on their website. Guess I'll buy some of the oil they recommend.

1 Do I need to condition the leather portion of my holster?
Although all of our leather hybrid holsters are treated with leather conditioner before they leave the shop, it may be necessary to condition the leather over the life of the holster. We use and recommend Neatsfoot Oil on our horsehide holsters and 4-Way leather conditioner on our cowhide holsters. The leather conditioners should be applied only to the gun side of the leather with a minimalist approach. The back side of the leather will be conditioned with the natural body oils from your skin and no further treatment is needed. If you need to clean the leather of your holster, saddle soap is recommended, followed by a leather conditioner after the leather has fully dried.
