Members BBAYS Posted November 23, 2011 Members Report Posted November 23, 2011 I came across some nice leather that is 95% veg and 5% chome tanned. Does anybody know if that small amount of chrome tannage will affect the finish on a gun? Quote
Members Kcinnick Posted November 23, 2011 Members Report Posted November 23, 2011 I wouldn't use it for a holster. Most modern guns would be fine using chrome tanned, the finishes we have today are amazing, but they are not used on the springs and small metal parts. If it were a holster for one of my guns, I have no doubt I would never see rust on the weapon, however you don't know who going to use the holster and how they care for their firearm. It is safest to stay with 100% veg tanned leather. Quote
