Just got a Defender and plan on carrying it a lot IWB. I know it will get its share of abuse, but does anyone have any pointers on slowing down the finish wear?
I plan on just sticking it in my waistband with a Clipdraw at 12:00.
Waxes? Coatings? Oil? Thanks.
If you're not using a holster, whatever you put on the gun is going to soak your trousers and drawers...go light on the oil or you'll look like you wet yourself.Quote:

If your Defender is blued, you need to worry more about rust than finish wear as blueing is more susceptible to corrosion in a high sweat environment. Even a leather holster won't wear a stainless slide that much. That's why stainless is a good thing IMHO.
All that being said, Renaissance Wax would probably be your best bet for preserving the gun without ruining your clothes. Lube is a whole other story. I would suggest some sort of grease such as Tetra Gun Grease that won't run
