From the link Sergio kindly provided.. Ballistol effectively protect leather against getting hard and dry, " your vegetable tanned molded & formed Luger holsters are SUPPOSED to and STAY hard & dry. " ONLY the VERY surface NEEDS anything and that doesn't happen with a PENETRATING OIL!"
against water, " AGAINST WATER? Yes, oil & water don't mix. insects and fungi. Residues of tannic acid in leather will be neutralized dry leather softens and gets elastic again " Softens! LISTEN to what Ballistols says! Softens! "with a dull shine bright leather can get darker "can and WILL get darker because it's PENETRATING OIL!" typically the smell of ballistol will evaporate quickly there will be no greasy film "Not greasy because it will be oil soaked." on the leather.
I won't beat this donkey any further.

We all make choices. I try to make informed choices. Each to their own.
Hi Jerry

You kindly called me "a young man" only because from my avatar tiny picture you can't see the wrinkles on my face!
