I've seen a couple of comments about the rough treatment the guns get in CAS. Just how rough is it? I expect a lot of holster wear for the SA, and plan on a bright stainless Ruger for that reason. My concern is the SxS and the lever action(s). I expect them to be shot, and expect the normal everyday(if there is such a thing) wear that goes with a working tool of any kind. I did notice that on a few occasions, comments were made about CAS being pretty tough on the guns. Since I still at the starting point, should I start looking for a shooter now, or shoot what I have and accept the wear?
