[QUOTE="Mad Professor, post: 3352908, member: 5316"] CharlieWH2O is right. Kydex is harder on a guns finish than leather. And it will show up on the front of the trigger guard the quickest. A guy has to decide if using it as a tool is more important than keeping it as a showpiece. I’m willing to get one refinished if it gets to that point. But I understand if some are not. I’m currently carrying a much higher dollar gun than I ever have, and likely it will need to be refinished if I decide to sell it a year or so down the road. A well fit kydex holster will abrade less than some. And a good kydex holster properly fit will have almost no drag once it moves past the point of retention. They are hands down faster on the draw than leather if that is important to you. A quality one is difficult to break off of your belt in a fight over it. Not do much for the injection molded stuff out there. Some builders are using higher quality material like Boltaron. Kydex is just a brand name PVC thermoform like Kleenex is to tissue. Many companies are not even using material that is up to the quality of Kydex. [/QUOTE]
