I have one leather holster that sounds more like an old saddle than a holster.
Suggestions for a "cure"?

Type of holster, OWB, IWB etc. Also do you know what portion of the holster is causing the squeaking.

Isolate the spot and hit with a minimal amount of beeswax.
Guns kill people the same way spoons make you fat.
If you wear a leather belt, consider that the squeek is coming from the leather holster moving against the leather belt. +1 for Ping Ping's suggestion.
Yep, some bees wax (Sno-Seal is bees wax) or CRC food grade silicone spray. I have good results with both. Food grade silicon is colorless, odorless, heat stable, nonstaining and has no solvents, so it is perfect for leather.
Okay, thanks.
It is a Dillon OWB and I figure it is "probably" the area contacting the belt.
I'll get some beeswax and give it a go.
Thanks again.
Kydex is the only cure.
I fixed my squeaking with Hyde Glyde that I purchased from C. Rusty Sherrick Custom Leather Works. It solved the problem.
I thought my Summer Special was squeaking, but it turned out to be my knee joints.
Go ahead and retire: now who's watching your back?
I've had good luck with baby powder on a Versa Max 2 that had a squeaky seam or two (worked in with an old tooth brush, silenced it immediately). But that doesn't really apply to your situation from the sound of it. Just for others information if they've got a similar issue.
