Question: Is it good to keep a pistol in the Holster 24/7?
I purchase a good holster, PRO CARRY HD, Quality Gun Leather. Will keeping the SS Pistol in the Holster 24/7 damage the pistol? Thanks For Your Feedback, Bobbart |

No, John Bianchi...
Short answer; no.
Dust, lint, grit, sweat-water, will or could cause problems. Bianchi-Intl(now a part of Safariland) was started by a ex-cop & military veteran named John Bianchi. He wrote useful guide to cops & gun owners re: leather care/firearms carry/storage. See: www.bianchi-intl.com . The book is insightful & the tips are good for any armed professional/license holder. |

My EMP has pretty much lived in a Bianchi 100 since the day I bought it.
It is not damaged in any way. There is some wear on the edges, but nothing that would affect function. |

Sorry if this is an impertinent question, but why is it so important to do this?

The reason you put the paper (I typically use a plastic bag) around the handgun and slip it all into the holster is to allow the holster to stretch a small amount (we are talking the thickness of the material wrapped around your handgun here) to allow a tight but yet proper fit. You want your holster to retain the firearm....you don't want it dropping out if you hop, skip, run, fall down, etc. Stretching the holster, for a day, is a method to get a firm fit between holster and handgun.

What we all understand !!!
Quote:
A few weeks back, a friend of mine got a new rig for his Ruger Blackhawk, white grips and all. He has it displayed and you bet, it looks awesome. He asked this same question and I have given him the same answer. I told him to routinely monitor it's condition in order to head off any problems. We all understand that it's your gun and you are certainly welcome to store it any way you want. ...... Just be watchful and; Be Safe !!!

As long as a person realizes that you still must "Care" for a pistol and not simply leave it in a leather holster for years... It should be fine. I wouldnt lose any sleep over it.

My Glock is a tool, I use it everyday...most days it's dirty but serviceable...it lives in its holster until its needed. Does it hurt it? Mat that I can tell...beats being kicked under the seat of my truck or falling out the door when I get out of the truck.
