I use leather balm on mine. Scout is the brand I have, but there are others, and they're all pretty similar. It cleans and adds moisture to the leather, but it isn't oily.

Any good boot, saddle or western shop should have it, or you can get it online. Here's a link to Amazon. I've used the Meltonian in the past also.

I use the same holster everyday for my m&p9c but ive never used a conditioner on it. after a few weeks it broke in so nicely that it fits like a custom made glove on the rear half of my hip. leather used seems to conform rather easily and quickly so you may not need it.

I only rubbed it down good with neutral shoe polish, the wax kind. Just to add a little moisture protection.

I bought mine in Cowhide so just to be safe I use Saddle Soap to protect from any moisture.

I don't know if the inquiry is about general care or as a result of a problem. I recently got my first Supertuck and the thing squeaks like crazy even after weeks of wearing it for 8+ hours a day and walking for many miles a week. (The metal clips rub up against the leather.) I wrote the company about the issue and was advised to use Neetsfoot oil on the inside of the rig if the holster is horsehide or Kiwi Leather Lotion if its cowhide. (Another suggested alternative was to use some felt between the clip and the holster.)

I was going to say, CB is good at providing info, both on their website and by email.

Lexol, used sparingly. I prefer my own sweat, however. You don't want anything that makes the leather soft. Even too much Lexol will do that.
