[QUOTE="Snattlerake, post: 3304422, member: 44288"] I have an idea. Instead of whether or not it is harmful to the gun, wear from metal on metal is wear. Wear from handling a gun is wear. I was looking at the factory engraving on a shotgun that was put up for sale here a few days ago. You can see the engraving is not as deep in the area it was carried by human hands or gloved hands. It was factory deep where it was not handled. This can only be explained physically by the years of human hands wearing off microscopic bits of metal over the years. I found the gun I'm talking about.

Why not just adopt the practice as semi automatic handgun etiquette? Just like not slamming a cylinder being revolver etiquette? [/QUOTE]
