holster noise

[white eagle]

I have a crossbreed holster that squeaks terrible..
I have oiled it and it still sounds like I and an old wooden ship coming
any suggestions?
What the sense of concealing it if it gives you away with noise.?

I have never held a crossbreed but from the pictures it looks like it has plastic parts. Could you glue some thin leather onto the plastic parts that are rubbing? I do a lot of work with leather and I wish I could help you out more!

LOL mine did too baby powder will help. or if some one asks just tell them you had a hip replacement
and keep a straight face

Ditto on the baby powder. Plus, for all anyone knows, the 'squeaking' could be a cell phone holder, or just a leather belt...I'd think it's more likely that someone might see the firearm printing before they'd recognize noise from the holster. Nonetheless, it's a good point, concealed should be concealed, noise, sight or otherwise.

New leather squeaks like that until it's worn in. Why not call Crossbreed and see if they have a solution?

Baby Powder, BUT...it can wear the finish.

New leather holsters squeak usually where it is tightly sewn . I oil the threads .

My Crossbreed does the same thing - I discovered that all the noise was coming from the Kydex belt clips rubbing on the smooth leather as I moved. My solution was to use a product called "Wet Suit Ez" - its a super slick teflon type powder sold in dive shops to make getting into wet suits and dry suits easier. Tiny touch of powder between the kydex and leather makes the holster completely silent. Its cheap, and you can find it at Sport Chalet or any dive shop...
