I make some of my own holster. I use the vegatable tanned tooling leather. That stuff is great to work with but it soaks up water like a sponge. So...I have treated my holsters with Sno-Seal brand wax. Well, this works great on hiking boots, soaks into vegatable tanned leather really well, and if you really work on it, buffs up pretty good. Water beads up and runs off like made. So far so good.
I just made a pancake style holster (first one) for my Glock 17 and the stuff is pretty sticky and once holstered, the G17 is pretty much glued in place...at least in terms of drawing with one hand. I think my holster is too tight but the wax is what is really sticking.
So, what do you guys/gals who make or take good care of you holsers use to treat it?
