The wear on my carry gun tells its own story

[Riddler]

The finish on my carry gun shows clear signs of use from drawing and reholstering over time. It is not damage, it is evidence of consistent practice. I see it as a reminder that the gun is part of a routine not something that just sits unused.

Wear marks like that usually mean the gun’s actually doing its job not just sitting pretty in a case.

The lack of wear on mine shows it was nitrided. The holster is another story!

Exactly, wear tells the story, if it looks perfect, it probably never got used right.

Nitriding definitely helps with finish but holster wear still finds a way to make itself known

This, especially if it’s kydex. That’s ok though, it doesn’t need to be pristine, just needs to be reliable and efficient for the task.
