The Leather Holster Break-In Mistake: Why Not to Use Leather Conditioner | 1791 Gunleather

Using leather conditioner on a leather holster, especially when trying to break it in, can be a bad idea for several reasons, particularly when dealing with high-quality holsters like the 1791 Gunleather. Leather conditioners are designed to moisturize and soften leather, making it more supple and preventing it from drying out and cracking. While this is beneficial for maintaining leather goods like wallets, belts, or shoes, it's not always suitable for holsters.

One of the main issues with using leather conditioner on a holster is that it can make the leather too soft too quickly. Holsters need a certain level of stiffness to maintain their shape and provide retention for the firearm. Applying conditioner can break down the fibers of the leather, causing it to lose its desired rigidity. This can result in the holster losing its form, potentially leading to an improper fit for your firearm and diminished safety.

Additionally, leather holsters often rely on friction and a snug fit to secure the firearm in place. When you use conditioner, the increased softness can reduce the friction, making it easier for the gun to shift or slide within the holster. This can lead to difficulties in drawing the weapon smoothly and safely, which is a critical concern in self-defense or tactical situations.

Furthermore, using leather conditioner may alter the appearance of the holster, potentially causing it to become darker or shinier than desired. For those who prefer the classic, rugged look of their leather holsters, this can be an undesirable outcome.
