Bob,,

The article on leather care was excellent. Since "Auto-Mag" is copywrited, we can't reproduce the article, but the gentleman who wrote it did a fantastic job. In essence, he advocated the use of Pecards and another preservative (can't remember the name) for leather. he also discussed those who did not use any preservative on the leather and said that would eventually lead to dry-rot.

This is a real tough subject that get folks going on preservation. My opinion, and mine only, is that a cleaning with a brush to remove any dirt, and a LIGHT application of Pecards, Lexol, etc. will help the holster. BUT, the most important thing to remember is to keep it in a lower humidity area, cool place, and out of the light. This is the best protection. Just my thoughts.

P.S.- NAPCA is a great organization and there is much to be learned from the folks who really know handguns!
