I have a new Colt Commander with a blued finish. With daily carry, will the Uncle Mike's scratch my finish?

I honestly don't know, I have stainless finish and with everyday carry I don't have any scratches or marks. So far I really like the holster.

I seriously doubt it will show any more wear on finish than a leather holster would. Holster wear is something everyone has to deal with over time.

Possibly a bit. Its not, in my opinion, a super tight fitting holster. I'm using mine for a Taurus & it has some holster wear already. Less than a month. But Taurus doesn't have the strongest finishes either.

No, It hasn't scratched mine. I use it to secure a Colt 45, Series 70 Model 1911 with a parkerized finish. It works great. I have it mounted under a rack in the server room at my company. Just in case some one comes in acting crazy.

I have a high polished SS Colt Officers' I installed Mag long ago; as a result I bought MOP grips and these under grips which would now not fit because of the well. I used a pro to fit both. The black under the MOP is a nice touch. My suggestion; they are not very pricey, why not order from some one th free ship as well and if they do not fit at firs they are easy to trim. I believe the holes are the same for Colt & Kimber . Wors case you send them back.

It is hard to avoid any wear off of the blue even if this claw mount is being put on gently with steady hands. I compensate such blue wear by using a gun blue pen on my GSG STG-44. There is no scratch into the gun metal. Hope this helps.

Dave,I carry the weapon with the clip every day and find it as compatible with a belt as without. Before I installed the clip I was concerned that it might interfere with the grip when firing....no problem at all.RR

The gun could experience some corrosion if placed directly against the body. I always wear and undershirt with my gun and keep the gun well lubed. The gun will experience some wear to the finish on the holster side as the gun slides on and off the holster, so this is definitely a holster for a full time carry gun intended to be a tool, not a show queen.

Kydex is actually pretty smooth. I had the same concern. However, it is just like any other type of holster: after time, finish will wear, but that's over an extended period of time. Now I have noticed some marks on my 1911, but some Hoppes 9 seems to get rid of it, so I don't think it's a "scratch". Just keep the holster clean, and keep dirt out of it. If an abrasive gets in there, like dirt, then you may have to worry. Hope this helps.

I have the glock 23 and the finish does not get scrathed, it only touches the trigger guard. Good guality and comfotable.

I've carried for 18 years, using every type of holster/pouch/container there is. Never saw one that was perfect until the Sneaky Pete. The key seems to be the way the inside is blocked and shaped to fit whatever gun a particular model is designed to hold. If you check with them for your particular model and they have it, you will be pleased with the product. Be sure they know all the details (barrel length, laser eqpt, etc.). My only complaint is no provision for a spare magazine.

Barb. I've used this holster for the past 4 months and have seen not wear on my finish. Your Kimber should be fine and only subject to normal holster wear. Hope this helps.

Scratch? No, but every holster will eventually wear the finish on your gun, even leather holsters

If you are worried about scratching the finish, wrap the barrel with high temp electrical friction tape or similar or you can use a piece of thin closed cell foam (ie truck cap weather stripping or similar) I used the tape to protect the realtree print on my .22 and the tape residue wipes off with WD40 (you will need to change the tape out every once in awhile because it will get gummy and loose) I use my mount for a bipod and I move it back and forth from my hunting .22 to my plinking .22 with no issues ever.

I have used the holster every day for the past 9 months and there are no scratches on my gun. I hope it works for you.

Got me - I have carry a Sharps and a 1903 springfield in mine - the only problem is that you need to put padding between them, as the padding in the case does not hold them in place reliably

It won't exactly match, but it might look OK from a distance. The only way to get a totally matching finish is to take it all off & start over.And, if you use the gun it will get scuffed. That's life.

I bought mine for a Bushmaster, slant is accounted for, I assume Colt will be the same.
