    Every time I move, my holster squeaks. It's annoying. It's a hybrid IWB...anyone else run in to this and find a solution?

    You can use neutral shoe polish on the leather parts that make noise.

    I have never heard any noise in my holster, but heard people putting saran wrap in them while home and not carrying, if it has tension screws you may be able to loosen just a hair

    Crossbreed hybrids squeak. I read talcum/baby powder can help. I have one for a G19 but I put a light on the pistol and the crossbreed just hangs out in the holster box with a few friends.

    I just make squeaking noises with my mouth when carrying with a hybrid. Nobody knows I have a hybrid holster and they give me a wide berth in public spaces. win win.

    saddle soap will clean and soften it, usually stops the squeaks, along with breaking it in over time. Baby powder, wax, oil or basically anything that will stay on the leather will get on the pistol, and can cause issues. Even a softened broken in holster will squeak from time to time, only way to cure it completely is to get a full kydex holster.

    I had a Crossbreed Supertuck that ended up having a comical amount of CLP leak on it. The leather soaked up quite a bit of the oil. As you can imagine, it doesn't squeak these days. :)

    Try putting one of these in your holster:

    I think this is the problem and this should solve it. I put some insulators in this area and adjusted the clip screws (one was loose), and proceeded to lose one of the nuts :rolleyes: . It fell, his my shoe, and ended up somewhere on the garage floor where eyes can't be used, probably next to a pile of 10mm sockets. So now I get to order another one.

    I guess I'll wear the full kydex one for a while
