To be sure the kydex will give you more holster wear.
I use the Infadel w/ Gurkha set up for my IWB carry. I have a Kimber Pro in it. There are some guys that want their carry weapon to look like safe queens after 10 yr of daily carry. That wont happen. I think I have a picture of mine & will edit this w/ the pic to let you see.



You can see at the muzzle end of the frame the shine of the kydex. Another small spot under the slide lock & around the thumb safety. I have carried this gun now for about 2 yrs. ??????????
We had a discussion some time ago about "character marks". There is a matching set of these marks on the other side too.
What ever you carry, if it is every day, you will get some wear.
This is personal I know, My carry is for protection & personal defense. I dont abuse any gun I have but I dont have any safe queens. If I own it, I shoot it & probably carry it pretty regular.

Look at the ones I have checked first. Ask any questions I can help with. Also HighVelocity is the holster EXPERT & ENCYCLOPEDIA on the board. He will help you too.
Flintknapper is another long time carry that knows holsters.
Charles Cotton is too. He is really busy sometimes & not on the board every day.
From there check out all you want to look at. Some are made to sell & are not too good for wear. All the stuff I checked is quality leather or kydex. From there, what you like is going to be the key.
One of the things I remind folks that buy conceal carry holsters is the old saying: You get what you pay for." This is double true w/ holsters. There is a huge difference in the quality & comfort of $25.00 holsters & $75.00 holsters. Top quality leather holsters will cost close to or a little more than $100.00 new & there will be a 6-12 week wait. They stay that far behind. Kydex lead time is shorter.
You can watch some of the boards for sale items & get them cheaper.
You have to be willing to wait for what you want & it may take a WHILE.
I have bought only 3 new holsters in my 8 yrs of carry.
If I can help holler.

Yes sir. On the way.

PUCCINI5,
Check you PMs I have sent you a list that should last a long time & give you a very good holster education.
Questions about any specific one you find will be answered by someone. If it is a good quality holster, someone on the board has probably worn it.
Good shopping then
good

OOOOPS,
Welcome abaord. That was not polite.
