The Nylon Cases I have seen were Velcro. I would defiantly want them cover with snap or Velcro, but not open.
Yup. Dirty cuffs suck.

Also, what is the STX finish look like?

I'm going to go nylon on my duty rig, what are some good brands of nylon that will last?
Any thoughts on the a above? I'm looking to order a holster and belt this weekend.

You can't go wrong with either of those.

Try to see them in person at a place like GT Distributors and see how you like the mechanisms.

You should also look into a drop plate option that brings it a bit lower below the belt. Sometimes the high rides don't play well with jackets in cool weather.

You can find the scoop on Safariland duty gear finishes here.

I found both Bianchi and Safariland nylon gear to be solid and durable. I really like Bianchi's Accumold products. They're a couple dollars more, (literally) but I think more durable and better looking than the standard grade.
