Carry leather squeaks
Just got my Simply Rugged pancake for the Bulldog, put it on and I squeak when I walk.
Ideas? Wear ear buds so I don't hear it?

Re: Carry leather squeaks
Mink oil or Pecards should quiet down the squeaks.

Oh come on Bill.......leather squeaking? Your life is too easy if that's the only problem you have.

Actually, Bill, squeaking/creaking leather is exactly why I abandoned leather holsters for my hunting handguns (a S&W M29, A Ruger .44 SBH, & a Ruger .454 SRH) in favor of Bianchi Ranger 4100-series Cordua Nylon cross-chest bandolier holsters.
IME, the only time that leather doesn't squeak/creak is after it gets broken down & softened - not what's preferable for CCW.
I carry my .44 Bull Dog in this very inexpensive ($5) Crossman nylon holster (they're also available in black or a tan camo).

Re: Carry leather squeaks
Before you put a bunch of liquids on leather, try and locate the squeak. Once you find it put a little talcum or baby powder on the offending area. This usually takes care of the squeak, and if you do use baby powder you'll have a nice aroma about you as well.

Rub a candle on the squeaky area. The wax will prevent noise from rubbing as you move.

Re: Carry leather squeaks
that's possible. I had a squeaking strap fitting on my helly hansen britches and it called in a big doe, looking for me with her ears up and a smile . . .hfcable wrote:Bill in Oregon wrote:Just got my Simply Rugged pancake for the Bulldog, put it on and I squeak when I walk.

A friend of mine that is a retired big city policeman, does exactly that - whether out to dinner, shopping, deer hunting, pheasant hunting, or travelling, the well worn wooden grips of his backup .38 revolver are visible to the trained eye.
Kinda comforting too, to realize that he is still "on duty".
