Holster Questions

Recommended Posts

Leather and Kydex holsters have contact points where the holster meets the firearm. Depending on how frequently you draw your gun, those contact points will cause friction and eventually wear away the finish. If you draw your firearm on a daily basis, the friction created by the handgun rubbing against the holster while drawing or holstering will eventually wear away the polish or finish on your gun.

Select a leather holster lined with very soft and smooth leather, which reduces and/or eliminates the risk of abrasive friction.

Holster wear is a thing. Eventually, all holsters, no matter what they are made of, will damage your finish on pretty much whatever you carry.

 


 

 

Absolutely right. The softest brushed leather will eventually acquire some grit and produce a "shine" on your gun.  Even rubbing on your skin and clothes will polish the sharp edges on you sights/slide/etc.. Some finishes are more resistant than other, but ultimately, they will all wear down with frequent use.
With that said, might as well get the one that performs best and forget about the finish wear.
