but the best thing you can do is take your new pistol outside and bounce it across the driveway once. You won't worry anymore about holster wear any more, and you will quit treating your pistol like your fine china.

I agree. Perhaps if it was a family heirloom or something really expensive or rare, but for the most part a gun with a great deal of holster wear has more character. It is just nicer in my opinion. I am not to worried if my Glock gets scratched or something, but a Les Baer 1911 might cause me to cringe.

There it is!

My Browning Hi Power shows no signs of wear or use. My SA Compact 1911, which is my EDC, shows character even though it rides in an OWB leather holster.

My face and body show a lot of signs of wear and use. I guess that means I have a lot of character.
