THIS. I sold my 1911 partly because it was too pretty to EDC. And I wanted something other than a safe queen at the time, so I sold it to fund another gun.There are some better than others. However, compromising your finish of your firearm should not be the first consideration. If you want a pristine gun to carry…don’t carry it.
I love my EDC compact 1911 BECAUSE of the wear. It looks like its been through hell because it might have. It was pretty when I bought it back in 2017. Now, the edges have worn the finish etc. It's a gun that gets carried and used. The "nice" one stays home except on special occasions and it looks like it has been pampered.THIS.

Unfortunately my RIA 10mm even though I try to keep it from getting worn, or banged up, and scratched it still happens. It isn't an expensive 1911, but i try to take care of all my firearms. However, edc, or hunting firearms are not range toys, and things happen. Just like your edc knife things happen like the tip of my Leek got messed up. Fixed now.THIS.

It's not necessarily the holster that causes the wear, it's the dirt and grit that gets between the holster and the gun.
