HOLSTER WEAR FIX

[gryghin]

@terdog thanks for sharing. Reminds me of the conversation I had with my youngest.

My daughter was born 6 years after I left the service, so she never knew the Military life. She asked me this evening if all I did was operate the Submarine. I replied, well when you're on a Submarine you don't just operate it, you fix any thing that goes wrong or gets broken. Because you and the crew are all you have out there. Sometimes the fix has to be creative.

Way to be creative.

A nice side benefit was that the Sharpie soaked pad covered up some of the marks on the slide. Not perfect, but better.

They make Blueing pens. Go get one. You'll enjoy it more than a sharpie.

I think it's Birchwood Casey?

I'm aware of the pens, even before the other guy mentioned it.

The Sharpie did a good job.

Purple griped ones are the wifes..

Nobody's judging you!

Covered it up nicely.

The bigger the gob, the better the job!

Just a followup.

Its been a couple weeks now since this "fix" was done. I'm happy to report that the pad and the pistol are getting along very well. Absolutely zero wear on the gun.
The coloring still looks 99% OEM.
the long term prognosis is very favorable.

Heres an update.
After a month of EVERYDAY carry, things are lookin great. The pad is staying put too.

As Chuck Yeager would say, A OK.
