Blue Jean Rivets touching gun-Question

[Iwant1]

I've got several pairs of jeans that have those metal rivets right where my slide rides. It doesn't necessarily scratch the slide but it wears on the finish. Has anyone had this happen or know of any remedies?
You're an idiot if you say "Buy new jeans" or "change your carry position"
Just wanted to clear that up.

Is your gun not in a holster?

Iwant1, yes I have had the same problem with some jeans. I wear a holster with quite a bit of rake to it and sometimes the metal rivets on the pockets will mark the slide. I always consider my firearm a tool and therefore dont give it a second thought.

Carry a gun in a holster? It's gonna get marked.

good holsters mark less... and you said you use a BELT SLIDE? Those leave a lot of gun out.

MORE holster= less rivet damage.

I've had a hard time coming to the realization that my baby is going to get "used" if I'm well..using it like I should. I was just wondering if someone had something to maybe cover them up.

Yea... a bigger holster. I wear Wranglers 7 days a week... and have never had a rivet rub my guns. Because I use a full holster of some sort... and IWB most of the time.

That would solve the problem thanks.
