Hi everyone, I've been checking out the "holster" threads with your opinions on the different brands. After going to the many websites and checking out the various designs wouldn't you know....the holster I really like is the High Noon, "sky High", it's lined and Horsehide. The other is the lined horsehide Bare Asset.

The High Noon products are impressive, but many of their holsters are out of stock. One of my prerequisites was the holster had to be soft leather and lined to protect the finish of my guns and HN gave you that option.

Safariland holsters are supposed to be lined as well, but I couldn't find that option.

Anyway I thought I would share with you all my choice so far for my M&P's.

PS: I'm open to any suggestions.

Don't assume a soft or lined holster will be easy on your finish. It will cause wear like everything else and because of its softness it will hold grit that will scratch the finish when drawing and holstering.

At first look, Kydex looks very tough on finishes and leather feels looks smooth for the finish. Well, to be very honest, I have found more blemishes on peoples finishes with leather holster than Kydex. Think that one over.

choochboost is right on the money here!! The kydex is not as hard on the gun finish as it may seem.

Thanks for your opinions guy's. I have the kydex Blackhawk SERPA Tactical Holster, but comfortable it is not. Wonderful design and if they could soften the damn thing up so it wouldn't rub you raw it would help although it doesn't conceal worth a damn either.

In my opinion a good quality lined leather holster that fits you and your gun will only improve with use (soften and slicken up) and depending on the amount of use you put it to I suppose the gun might start to show a little wear over 15-20 years. JMO
