What material is the least abrasive on the finish of an MP. Kydex, Nylon or leather???????????

wax the inside with a good carnauba wax
I would think Nylon would wear the least... I got leather holster wear on my tennifer P99 in 2 weeks. Ended up hard chroming the slide - now, no holster wear ever.
Nylon is one of the most abrasive surfaces available, a good waxed leather is about as easy on the finish as you can get, some of the kydex holsters are pretty good also.

+1!! Nylon tends to hold grit in its fabric and is hard to get rid of or see.

Casual OWB Kydex / If you live in your holster as I do Leather. IWB Leather kydex hybrids.



My 2 cents.
See, I have had leather scratch up a gun on every insertion into the holster, but never had issues w/ Nylon....
Don't sweat honest wear on a working pistol. Think of it as character rather than a defect.
