I think you are confused. It is not possible to make Glocks look worse than when they are new. Ugly = ugly = ugly. And this is from a proud owner of 4 Glocks (at the moment).GlassG19 wrote:airborned wrote:I mostly carry a desantes soft tuck inside waist band tuck able holster with a Taurus 709.
Hello, please forgive me, I'm sure I'm in the wrong thread but just can't find the correct one.
Since it seems a few of you have owned DeSantis leather holsters before I thought you may know my answer & could help. I bought a DeSantis Black IWB leather holster w/ C belt clips, (Love it!) for my GLOCK 19, (Love it also!) My question & concern is; the outside of my gun (around barrel area, slide) is getting lighter in color (not solid dark black) due to the dye in the leather. Should I reholster only after the gun cools down or is there something I can due to restore the original "dark black color" on my GLOCK? It just doesn't look right. It looks like my gun has faded in color. Or should I get a different IWB holster, (Kydex, or some other material)?? I certainly would be be very grateful for any answers or recommendations from anybody else too.
Very Thankful,
M. Glass

The key to loving them is to understand what they are, and what they are not. They are a solid, dependable work truck, not a flashy Ferrari.GlassG19 wrote:So you Love them too!Soccerdad1995 wrote:I think you are confused.

It's summer and I am pocket carrying in an Uncle Mike's just about everywhere except at work. After August 1st I will be deep concealing in my university office and on my commute, using Galco Ankle Gloves and a DeepConceal shoulder rig.
