I'm about to begin making a holster for my new Pietta 1858. I've made many knife sheaths in the past, so I feel confident about the project. But here's my question, I seem to recall others saying that it's not a good idea to store your gun in a leather holster. Is this true? If so, how long is it safe to leave the gun in holster before damaging the bluing? Are there leather dressings that are safer to use? And what about BP residue left in the holster..... sounds like a recipe for disaster.
Any thoughts and suggestions would be much appreciated.
