A noisy holster

**sig83** · February 23rd, 2009, 09:31 PM

I use a CrossBreed to carry my sidearm and I cant seem to silence the squeak that comes from the kydex clips against the leather belt. Normally on a leather holster I would just use baby powder. Has anyone figured out what could silence this plastic on leather squeak?

I've used candle wax on my Crossbreed. It'll work for a while then start squeeking again. About 6 months ago I took a piece of beeswax, heated it with a ligher and rubbed melted beeswax on the leather behind the clip. No more squeek!

Thank you for your suggestion. You are right about the noise. I wore the holster without a belt and it still squeaked. I placed some felt pads on the back of the clip facing the leather backing and it stopped the noise.
