Holster wear?

[Guest Rem_700]

It sux!I've only been carrying now for maybe amonth an I can see a little bit of it starting to show.Its right on the front of the slide by the barrel!It doesn't even touch the holster,it sticks out of the bottom of it,must be rubbing on my pants.Is there anything you can do to prevent it?

I have a Performace Center limited edition 4006.. dude.. i have wear marks all over it from dryfiring and practicing on my draw.. but i love the pistol and would never give it up.. it just fits my hands so well.. and i like the way it shoots.. even with blazer brass .40.. it shoots pretty darn good.

[Guest FroggyOne2]

So what i am saying.. if you feel that this pistol is a keeper.. then don't worrry about it.

Well, a holster that covers the barrel would seem to stop that, eh?

On the other hand, a carry gun is not a safe queen gun.

But on the third hand, seems as your specific wear issue could be solved with a different holster.

Wear marks? What are those? You aren't talking about all that character on the finish of the slide?

If you don't want to mar the finish then don't carry or practice with it.

Well,when some folks looks at a gun with scratches,dimples,dull they say "well it has character "However I wouldn't say that a woman that has scratches,dimples,and a marred finnish has character.Id say its time to stick her back in the closet!

When my gun starts b****ing about it's character I'll agree with you.

If you wear jeans and it touches the brass brads they will leave a brass colored mark on the gun, it wipes off with oil. If it is a true scuff mark it is rubbing on something.

Any carry gun is going to eventually show some wear. It is a tool, use it and carry it with that in mind. I do not abuse or neglect any of my firearms, especially ones that are used for serious social purposes. I don't mind signs of honest use. I'm a bit suspicious of anyone's ability and commitment who has a "carry piece" that is too pristine. Clean, properly lubricated, for sure, but LNIB... no way.

I have a Taurus PT111 Millennium Pro that started showing holster wear after about a month.

I wouldn't worry about it too much. If it gets so bad you can't stand it anymore, you can always have it reblued.

I always used a holster that covers the whole gun for just that reason. But it is eventually going to happen away. I think the later is better than sooner in this case.
