Well, when you carry, your pistol accumulates little scars. It sets it apart from a safe queen. Because I've transitioned to carrying an M&P 9, this gun is effectively retired from carry. If a miracle would occur, and open carry is passed in Florida, this will be the gun I tote the first time to break the novelty of the situation.
A holster that would fully protect it from these little scrapes and dings would also be extremely cumbersome to draw from in a hurry. Everything is a compromise.
