Alright, here is my situation. I just recieved a holster that I had ordered for my S&W 28-2 6". The holster is a leather "Old West Classic" (or something like that) from the Sportsman's Guide. This set-up will only be carried while hunting, so price was more of a concern than comfort, etc. The gun did fit in the holster after much force was used to push it in. Once I got it in and snapped, I left it there. The last leather holster I purchased was a Bianchi, they recommend leaving the gun in the holster for a while to let it "set-up" properly to the gun.
Questions are... 1) Should I just do the same as I did with the Bianchi? 2)Should I treat it like a baseball glove, and condition it with Mink Oil, replace the gun, and leave it there for several days to stretch? 3) Would Mink Oil do any harm to the finish (blued) of the gun? (Granted the Mink Oil wouldn't be put directly on the gun. I just want to know if it accidently got on it in a spot.)
Thanks ahead of time
