Torogi Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 My blade-tech DOH is about 3yrs old now (got it used). My shadow is on the white now around the front corners of muzzle and dust cover. Also on both sides around the corner of the trigger guard. I know kydex lasts forever, should i start looking at those leather lined DAA holsters? I have an SP01 back that is hardly used, i noticed that there is premature wear on same areas as my main gun. Note. I do dry fire alot=) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burningsquirrels Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 ways to reduce wear? don't shoot. i think the leather ones will still wear the finish, just a little slower. but instead of spending on a DAA holster, just put it towards a refinish. or, keep the wear and tear and call it patina.

IMO it just shows you're putting in your work. Maybe get it Hard Chromed if it really bothers you, HC guns almost never show too much wear. It's funny, with nice guitars guys actually spend LOTS more to get ones that have been made to have that "relic" or worn in look as it looks so much cooler... I kinda think it works the same way with guns. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goldfish Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 Those wear marks on the competitors guns we worry about the most. Means it has gone through a lot of competitions and has done a lot of practice. Shinny ones are just show piece. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HotLoad Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 I take pride in my guns when they start to wear. A number of years ago I did own a leather lined holster from tucker gun leather out of TX called the rolling thunder. Not sure if they are still making it but it did work pretty well at protecting the guns finish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Anderson Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 Keep dry firing and wear the finish off the whole gun... Think how good you'd be! Pretty gun = no practice. SA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SA Steve, that got me laughing. Think if we all dryfired that much. Competition would be even better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
