We (wife and I) recently purchased a few 'nice' handguns (two S&W 1911's: one a full size Government Performance Center model (with the slide lightening cuts) and the other one is an E-class Commander model). Both to me are very well crafted and I'd like to keep them looking 'fresh'. But I do like Kydex as pistol material because it locks so well and permits running and jumping without worrying about a nice 1911 going flying.
So before I buy a nice (G-code or Raven) kydex holster for them, how likely will the stainless and aluminum/Scandium alloy finishes to be scratched with worn contact points and edges? And would using their 'tactical fuzz' coating lining over the kydex remove my need for concern?
If not, I could go with leather but it's not my first choice.
The same question applies to my three Smith revolvers and for my aging, valuable and cosmetically excellent H&K P7M13 and two M8's that we've been holding on to for years. All but one of the P7's are nicely used but we do take finer care of them than our standard firearms.
Anyway, any ideas and perspectives on this would be welcomed.
