Similar to a saddle, I’ve sent an email to Kramer and I am waiting to hear back from them on the matter. Just thought I would see if anyone here had any recommendations on how to make the noise quieter or go away.
Sir, have you experienced this with your belt? The only other thing that comes to my mind is that this is happening because I am breaking in all three things at once.
I might be a little over sensitive to the matter as this is my first experience with concealed carry. In a moderately noisy environment it is not noticeable, the sound does not travel far at all. However in a quiet room it is a very noticeable odd sound to the uniformed non carrying community. To those that do carry concealed with good quality leather holsters I think they would recognize the sound immediately. Something I wish to avoid if it is possible. I would greatly appreciate any advice.

Edit: This is part of an email I received from Will Kramer. "As for the creaking sounds from the leather - this can be fixed by taking denatured alcohol on a cloth and rubbing the excess wax polish off the surfaces that touch on the belt and mag pouch loop areas, this usually fixes that problem."

Glad that Will answered you, mine does not squeak.
