question on holster maintenance

artz · April 20th, 2007, 01:30 AM

When a holster feels mucky and the gun kinda sticks to it, what should you do, clean the holster with saddle soap ? or what ?

I'd say give the wax paper a try. Not only does it stretch, it also kinda slicks the inside for you.

NO Saddle soap. No oil. No moisture at all.

LEXOL-pH Cleaner was recommended to me by Uncle Lou Alessi. I use the cleaner, LEXOL Conditioner, and then clear shoe polish. I was told to use the last by Mitch Rosen. Regards, Richard

Depending on how bad it is you might look at some Leatherique Rejuvenator, or Zaino. Lexol is suppose to be good too.
