Holster and belt creaking
Holster and belt creaking
I have a crossbreed belt that I have had for almost a year now along with a leather OWB (belt slide) holster and lately it has been creaking every time I move. Any ideas on how to fix it?

My Bianchi does that most of the time. I don't worry much about it. Squeeking is not illegal.

Maybe a good leather conditioner. This will also protect the leather and IMHO they usually make it smell good.

My Crossbreed still squeeks after a year too, and it's very annoying. Luckily no one has asked why I squeek..

It is a very, very, very, very bad idea to soften either a gunbelt or a leather holster.Rex B wrote:Mink oil. Softens and waterproofs.

Yeah, but I don't see as much of an issue with the Crossbreed as it is just the backing and the kydex and clips hold it in positionPawpaw wrote:It is a very, very, very, very bad idea to soften either a gunbelt or a leather holster.Rex B wrote:Mink oil. Softens and waterproofs.

True, but the OP was talking about a Crossbreed belt and a belt slide type holster.Keith B wrote:Yeah, but I don't see as much of an issue with the Crossbreed as it is just the backing and the kydex and clips hold it in positionPawpaw wrote:It is a very, very, very, very bad idea to soften either a gunbelt or a leather holster.Rex B wrote:Mink oil.

Re: Holster and belt creaking
I kinda like the squeeking. Maybe because it almost covers up the sound of my knees popping.

That is such a great answer, & I can sooooooo relate.glbedd53 wrote:I kinda like the squeeking. Maybe because it almost covers up the sound of my knees popping.
There is no failure here, only varied degrees of success!!
Re: Holster and belt creaking
Had the same issue. Some bees wax in the belt holes on the holster worked for me.
