This topic came upon a nearby thread, which I'll not step on. The idea, put out there by someone I respect, was that leather is a poor material for a handgun holster.

I'd like to learn more about this perspective.

Does the hesitation have to do with blued guns not playing well with the preservatives in the leather? (that would be the easiest reason for me to understand).

Or is it something else?

Gotta admit I rather like leather holsters, and in I once learned a LEO point of view that "the good guys have leather holsters".

But.....
