In my opinion, if its a carry piece, then Id rock on...there will be something worse come along. Also, I can tell you from experience, if you keep anything with you everyday (cell, wallet, watch, gun, etc..) it will all show wear. Its just going to happen. If you care so much about the gun that you dont want it scratched, worn, nicked, etc, then its likely NOT a good choice for a carry gun. I would suggest firmly wrapping your mind around this gun being your 'duty rig' and from now on treating it like the tool it is.
Clean it, train with it, carry it, trust it. Dont baby it. Back when I used to carry a Glock 27 all the time, I would also wear it fourwheeling. At the end of the day, you couldnt tell where the mud stopped and the gun/holster began. I would stop in the river by where we parked and dunk the pistol in, washing it off as best I could. When I got home, Id unload it, oil it, and put it beside the bed.
Never a problem, only thing I ever noticed is that the edges of the finish looked worn after a while.
I am trading off tomorrow a gun Ive carried for about a year, and it shows no more wear than any other used handgun, and it has been with me/on me every minute of the last year (showering excluded...).
I consider a carry gun one to trust, and to actually kinda cherish the wear on...It means that you and it have been there and done that so to speak.
