[QUOTE="RockHopper, post: 3690162, member: 49099"] Thank you for citing the example, and I agree, Operator error was the case. I'd hazard a guess that the crease was actually caused by his chunky ass wearing the holster regularly WITHOUT the gun in it. Leather forms to fit. If the gun were IN the holster while he was wearing it, than I doubt the crease would have formed the way it did. That solidly puts the situation in a category of neglect, as opposed to an actual failure of equipment. Same as if someone got a shirt stuck in a Kydex shell, causing a gun to discharge. I personally, edc a Glock 19 in a Desantis IWB. It's at least 2x as thick as the example above, and after 3-4 years, it still hasn't deformed in any way other than to fit the gun....but the gun is always in it too. I think that makes a big difference. Not that I'm claiming leather to be superior, just my preference. I use Kydex for both my sub-compact, and my OWB full-size with WML. It's all personal preference and what works best for you, in your style of carry, and that particular gun. Practice due diligence and always maintain your equipment. [/QUOTE]
