I have often said that Plastic Holsters are meant to serve those who believe in Plastic Guns.
Plastic Holsters serves only one purpose to steel handguns, to aid in the premature scratching of the finish. The bead blasting finish on the stainless guns are also susceptible to scratching, especially to the cylinders on the revolvers.
If you care enough about you handgun, please give it some thought before you waste your money on a plastic holster.
You get what you pay for.

Funny thing is while waiting for the thread to open having seen the Subject line, I thought to myself: "wouldn't a plastic holster scratch the gun?"
I'm glad that you clarified that it will indeed. I wouldn't use one on a "plastic" gun either because they aren't all plastic. The slides are metal, and will indeed scratch.

TMan; When I was talking about Plastic Guns & Plastic Holsters, I was thinking more about these kind of pistols ;D ;D Why use a plastic toy holster to carry a real firearm ? |

Go to crossbreedholsters.com and you will see that one of the hottest holsters in the market right now goes "against the grain" of popular sentiment. This holster has you put your firearm in a plastic holster and then place the leather part of the holster as an anchor against your body! Sounds weird, but apparently it is very comfortable and secure and well concealed. Guess some don't care about scratches, but they also probably are not shoving an expensive 1911 in there, but who knows! |

Often, a carry gun is one that you don't really care about scratching. Some even see the wear as a sign of pride; as in "this gun is used, not stored." I can appreciate that I guess. When I see a well worn firearm, well used, I think I'd have more respect for the shooter than someone who cradles his gold-encrusted Glock and can't hit the paper.
I still like leather for mine though.

Holster rub from conventional leather holsters, are far different that the scratches seen on guns, that has seen wear from being holstered in plastic.
