Simpson Repro Holster

[Mauser720]

54gullwing -

If you bought a reproduction holster for your Luger and it will not fit, you may be able to use Neatsfoot Oil to stretch the leather. Neatsfoot Oil will darken leather, so your tan holster will turn much darker. If you can tell where the holster is too small, try putting some Neatsfoot Oil on the inside of the holster, in the area where it is too small. (You can dab some on your finger tips, or use a "Q" tip. Rub it in.) This will cause the leather to become more soft, more pliable, and stretch some. It will also darken the leather a lot. But if you currently have a holster that you can't use at all it is a trade off and you may be able to salvage it this way. You can get a bottle of Neatsfoot Oil wherever shoe polish is sold. (It's also good for waterproofing leather.)

However, I would never want to use this stuff on an authentic original Luger holster!
