Break in a Leather Holster the Right Way with this Video!

Posted on January 13, 2012 by Brian

We here at GearExpert by OpticsPlanet love to give you helpful information on all aspects of hunting, law enforcement, military, sport shooting and more great hobbies and professions, and I thought you’d like to check out one of the best videos from the OpticsPlanet Facebook channel.

Do you know how to break in a leather holster?  This is an important factor in getting the best possible performance and the most value from your awesome new holster.  If you’ve just picked up a new Bianchi Holster or a fantastic Galco Gunleather Holster you’re going to want to make sure it’s properly broken in before you rely on it in the field or at the range.  Our Director of Product Intelligence, Steve Ledin, gives you a full breakdown of how to break in leather holsters so you have a perfect fit every time.  It doesn’t matter if your new leather holster is a shoulder holster, ankle holster, paddle holster or concealed holster; if it’s made of leather, you’re going to want to put in a little elbow grease so it fits just right.  Check out the How To Break in Holster Video Above, and remember that Steve is part of our team visiting SHOT Show this year, so check back all next week and beyond for great news from our experts!

    Thanks Steve, that was very informative. I’ve had baseball gloves and new shoes, but for some reason it didn’t occur to me to work the leather strap that way. Also, jeepers you have a lot of files on your windows desktop!
