Hi will this material scratch or damage my M&amp;P Shield read somewhere that this plastic can scratch the finish, just wondering if I should be concerned

Scratch? No, but every holster will eventually wear the finish on your gun, even leather holsters

I put one tiny little hair thin scratch into the display, but it took a lot of drawing for me to do that. After two weeks of use I decided to get a cover for the screen which prevents any wear and tear. I recommend you get one for yours if you're used to putting a lot of pressure on the pen when you draw.

The DLC coating is harder than any steel. You would be hard-put to scratch it. What a lot of people mistake for scratches is streaks of metal that ground itself out in a vain attempt to scratch the DLC. These "scratches" will wash right off.

The two guns I used it on had flat black finishes also. The rifle had light marks from what I'd call normal use. The pistol had a couple very bad scratches on the slide. I use my guns, their not closet queens. I pleased with the results.

My carry weapon is a LCP with this same brand of holster. There are some very small wear marks on the plastic portion of the gun from the holster.

Nate,I bought my wife hers for Christmas, and it still doesn't have any scratches. I would contact your supplier and ask what they are able to do for you.

My hubby hasn't gotten any scratches on his wallet yet. I guess I would use stainless steel spray cleaner on it and see if that helps. Otherwise, I would contact the company and ask them.

I ordered the smooth, but got the textured shipped to me by mistake, but I chose to keep it, it looks great with the textured finish and the paint is much more resistant to scratches than the smooth finish, I had it for a while now and I don't have a single scratch on it. Hope this helps.

No need to worry about scratching the weapon if you are careful about it.There might be some minor adjusting to the mount to fit properly go slow and it will be a rock solid mount.

I don't think it will help with scratches, but if your shield is in good shape, this stuff will make the water bead and disappear.

I must be the unlucky customer. As much as I wanted to like this magnet and believed the advertising, it scratched the hell out of my stainless Springfield 1911. These scratches don't wipe off either- will likely require refinishing my slide to get them out. I do place and remove the gun daily, so maybe it's not intended for that, but be careful. I'd recommend placing rubber or foam tape over the ABS surface for insurance against scratches.

I'm using a glass screen protector. Been using it since end of December, no scratches. The tip is metal with a plastic cover.

Jason:ANY holster will wear the finish off of the slide if the gun is used enough. I use this holster for defensive shooting which is to say that it gets drawn and reholstered 200+ times per week. There is slight wear on the slide but,again, that is to be expected with heavy use.Absolutely love the holster. I shoot a Kimber Super Carry Ultra + . I own 10 holsters for this weapon but use the Fobus EXCLUSIVELY

If you are worried about scratching the finish, wrap the barrel with high temp electrical friction tape or similar or you can use a piece of thin closed cell foam (ie truck cap weather stripping or similar) I used the tape to protect the realtree print on my .22 and the tape residue wipes off with WD40 (you will need to change the tape out every once in awhile because it will get gummy and loose) I use my mount for a bipod and I move it back and forth from my hunting .22 to my plinking .22 with no issues ever.

No I've not seen any scratching. The only down side to this holster I've seen is on rare occasions I carried a heavy shoulder bag on the same side as the holster I accidentally undid the clip causing the phone to fall. Mind you the phone survived the fall and I've since learned not to clip on same side I carry. This may not be a big deal at all if you rarely carry a shoulder bag... I did it twice before I started remembering not to carry and clip on same side.

They scratch. I returned mine and got the stanless steel which are wonderful. The MC2 ones also have handled which heat up

I have tried it. It fits well and works well. The only problem I have had with it, is that it scratched the finish of the gun. Although only minor and mostly my fault because I was not careful installing it.
