Anyone else out there have a leather/kydex holster that squeaks loud and clear while carrying? If so, what was your fix? I've tried leather conditioners, oils, crèmes with no results. Some quiet it down for an hour or so before it comes back.

I wouldn't worry about it. People will probably just think you're passing gas. [Coffee]

What type of holster do you have? Is it riveted like a Crossbreed or screwed with rubber isolaters like a Comp-Tac Minotaur?

Best I could do. I had no real answer for you. Sorry.

I've got a Comp-Tac Minotaur and it occasionally squeaks. I think I used to be concerned about the noise, but I doubt anyone can really hear it for what it is. Even if they do hear it, I'd say 99% of people wouldn't understand what they are hearing anyway.

I haven't noticed any squeaks from my Minotaur but it just may be a matter of me not noticing them.

My crossbreed started squeaking after about of year of using it. The squeak was from the back of the belt clips rubbing the leather. I put a piece of felt on each clip and rubbed some baby powder into it. It's been quiet for about a month now.

I use Moleskin on my Minituck. Put a srip on the back of each clip and a corresponding strip on the leather underneath it.
