Do any of you have problems with the Serpa holster wearing the finish off of your handguns? My old service M9 was almost half black half stainless from my holster.
I had a SERPA for a 1911 for a short time. I didn't use it enough to get any wear.
However, I will say any plastic holster will wear away the gun's finish. Leather holsters will too depending on the leather, the fit, and how dirty it is.
It's just a basic fact that if you holster a gun repeatedly then it will wear.
The best thing you can do is:
-keep it clean. Plastic holster can be cleaned with hand soap and water, then let dry
-cut off/lightly trim any spots inside the holster that rub the gun excessively
-polish any scuffed spots inside the holster with 800+ grit sandpaper and polishing compound
-holster and draw it as little as possible
-if the gun moves/rattles inside the holster then ditch it and get a different one. lots of movement can wear down the contact points
