Hi, I just bought a leather SImply Rugged holster for my S&W M&P 45 and it scratched the finish on the slide of my gun. I suppose the simply rugged holster was a bit too rugged for this gun. As much as I like the holster, I think it will have to be sold because the leather is too rough for the gun. I am real sad about this. Now, I am wondering what can I do to repair the scratch on my slide? The slide is blued and has real nice finish too it. I am shocked how easy the finish could scratch. I only put it in and out of the holster a few times. The scratch extends for about 2 inches from the front sight to the action of the slide. Is therea cheap way to restore the pretty blue texture to the gun or would it be expensive to have a gunsmith restore the finish and remove the scratch? When I say scratch, I mean the finish is scratched off, I don't think the aluminum or whatever material it is, itself is scratched.
Thanks for any advice peopel can give me.
