Got my Crossbreed Today........

[GLOCK1982]

Very exciting day! The new Crossbreed came in for my 5906. So far very satisfied. Had a question for you all out there. I have always used mink oil on most leather that I deal with. What do you prefer. Saddle treatment, mink oil, etc,???

 

[iChokePeople]

Bacon grease.

 

[Birds Away]

Neatsfoot oil is very good for leather.

 

[Tim Enyeart]

Mink oil

I find my lower abdomen is sufficiently oily to keep the leather conditioned well (purple applied as intended)

 

[beachhead40]

i have heard kneets foot oil but never a compond ..... i got the horse hide and it is super dry and creakes

 

[minx]

Mink oil? OH, the nerve.

As disturbing as I find that - I guess I have to agree. I've never treated my CB in the seven years I've owned it and it's in great shape.

Good to know. Thanks to all who have responded. I will have to save my bacon grease to fry backstraps however..............

I've had mine about a week and love it. Barely even feel it on me. It was squeaky when I got it but it loosened up without any oil. Guess I should anyway.

I use Ballistol. The same stuff I use for my guns.

What ever you use, just don't over do it.

See my above post. It is getting oiled plenty

 

[skseifert]

Well mines been oiled, and it still squeaks. Right where the kydex is mounted to the leather.

Has any one else noticed that -(heat wave excluded ) - That leather against the skin in the morning is COLD! ?--

Meltonian Leather Balm. Though it's a general purpose balm for leather, apparently some riders like it better than the specialty stuff for saddles. I can't say for holsters, though.
