I'm a leather junkie: I own a ton of holsters & more than a couple belts - some factory, some custom/some cheap, some not. What is the proper way to minimize or eliminate leather squeak! Some of my gear is very quiet & some of it creaks like an old house & there seems to be little correlation between the quality of the gear & it's "squeak-osity". I've been told a number of tricks, but I know there's more leather talent online here than anywhere else I've been able to ask.
So, what causes holsters to creak & what is/are the least destructive way or ways to counter it?

Buckshot,
The method I prefer and recommend, (if you have a saddle and tack shop in your area and can get it), is to get a pure Glycerine bar. Cut a notch in it the thickness of your belt and cut another small piece to fit in the belt slots. Dampen a sponge and run it along the belt at the contact point egdes to moisten it, insert the belt in the notch you cut in the bar and vigourously rub the Glycerine up and down both edges of the belt in that area where the holster is worn. Take the other piece of Glycerine and rub the belt slot cutouts, especially the upper and lower rounded areas. You may want to slightly moisten the Gylercine also while doing this. You can tell if it's adhering because it will leave the aeas you hit slick and shiny. Since this squeak is usually caused by the friction of dry leather on dry leather, you may also want to rub some on the front of the holster slot from the the slot to the edge of the holster, and the rear of the belt where it contacts that holster leather. Another holster-maker recommends a similar technique using the wax from a white candle; just rubbing the candle on the contact areas. I personally haven't tried this, and the Glycerine bar has been used for centuries for saddles and tack gear so I feel safe using it on my leather. The only holsters it may not work for are those with belt tunnels on the rear instead of slots. You could still use it on the belt edges but getting it inside the tunnel-loop could be tough. Tony Kanaley from Milt Spark's recommends plain old baby powder on the contact areas. I haven't tried that either.
Hopefully Lou and few others will chime in here with their preferred method.
