Hi everyone.

Recently purchased a Smith and Wesson 1911, and I want to carry it over the winter.

I have a good quality leather belt holster from High Noon (Slide Guard), and a good leather gun belt from 5.11 Tactical.

The problem I am having is that the holster (while it is new) is creaking on my belt, leather on leather, making noise when I move, draw, walk etc.

As it stands right now the holster is not an option for carry. I know that Leather needs to be broken in, but any suggestions to speed this process up?

I can solve it very simply by getting a non-leather carry belt, but would prefer to stay with what I have.

I have two other holsters from High noon, and neither one has this problem.

Ideas???

Thanks everyone!
