Does anyone know how to stop leather holsters from squeaking or making noise? :'(I love leather but, i just cant stand the noise .When hiking i like to be quiet.I have nylon ones that dont make noise ,but i just dont care for them.Can anything be done?.Thanks pan.

Whatever you use don't use Neatsfoot Oil, it will soften your holster till it becomes sloppy & mis-shaped. You might try Lexol on the belt loop that is usually where noise comes from as it moves against the belt at every step. I'd really be hesitant to use oil etc on the holster body as they can cause the holster to loosen up.

Wear it and break it in.  My CC holster stopped squeaking after about a week of constant use.
