So I bought my first semi-auto yesterday...I got a Springfield XD .40 sub compact. All black... And man is she sweet.
I have always been a revolver kind of guy ( Ruger SP101 ), just because less moving parts = reliability in my mind. But I figured what the hell and picked this up.
Question : whats the best type of holster to avoid holster 'wear' ? I guess cosmetics won't matter when the [color=#FF0000]█[/color][color=#FF0000]█[/color][color=#FF0000]█[/color][color=#FF0000]█[/color][color=#FF0000]█[/color] goes down, but I hate to think of putting wear on the slide etc... Are those plastic holsters bad about this, like fobus etc ?
