Absolutely. I hunt with a shotgun that my granddad gave to me and this wrap works get. I'm pretty tuff on guns during hunting season and the wrap still looks as good as it did the day I put it on.

This is a very good product its easy to put on and nothing to take off without harming your gun

If it's a keepsake, don't use it duck hunting. If not, this is your best option. However, take the tape off if the gun gets wet or else you can cause some serious damage.

I had an extra unused rifle scope cover; the kind that is rubber with stretching rubber from one cap cover to the other cap cover. It works great. I attached it to the Monocular with 30 lb test black dacron fishing line so when I take it off I wont lose it. I don't recommend a monocular to everyone but I like it to study my arrow from the tree stand after the shot to evaluate the blood or lack there of to decide when to get down. My early bow season spots are so thick, binoculars are usless plus I have many floaters in my left eye so the monocular really works well for me and it's lighter to carry.

I do recommend this sights but not sure if I would recommend them over the HD sights with the painted front because I don't own the HD... yet.. I would like to get some of the HD sights and put them on another XDM that I own just to try them out, but haven't gotten around to it. I do feel comfortable with the company and don't think they make bad product.

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

Its designed not to harm finishes, the body is made of aluminum and the tension screw has a plastic bumper on it to keep it from rubbing. It hasn't left any marks on my Kimber in two years of use(yes I normally shoot with it attached)

This isn't a product you use with a brush or sprayer. You rub it in with a small rag. Most of the time, I just use my fingers. I refinish gun stocks with it. I've probably done 20 stocks. I found out on gunstocks anyway, I like to stain the wood first although it doesn't require stain. If you go that route, let the stain dry. Then apply the Tung Oil. I usually do at least 2 coats of Tung Oil. Sometimes 3 letting it dry between each coat. I also rub it in before every hunting season on my waterfowl gun for extra protection. I showed my cousin that stock and his jaw dropped. Looks professional. This isn't a product you use with a brush or sprayer. You rub it in with a small rag. Most of the time, I just use my fingers.

Everything I've ever used it on has been unaffected by it, but they're all relatively modern firearms. It's really just hi-tech soap, and while they tell you themselves it might harm some less-expensive "cold bluing" finishes, I can't imagine it would harm a really good old-fashioned finish. Still, I agree that testing on some inconspicuous spot would be wise. I use the stuff on all my guns and have been very happy with it for years.

Congrats you bought a beautiful handgun a bit heavy but very impressive. For that gun I would use a Wild Bill's Concealment Fusion Paddle or Covert holster. Hope that helps. Be safe.

My rifles came from Walmart shipped directly to my home. No cosmoline on either, just a very light coating of gun oil. Don't use copper brushes just a good stiff synthetic. Make sure you get all of the lubricant out of the tube. If not you are going to be surprised with the bang you will get. I did not clean my .177 as thoroughly as I should have and the first pellet sounded like a ma duce going off.Keep them all in the X ring.Semper FiMolon LabeCHS USMCL

It is hard to avoid any wear off of the blue even if this claw mount is being put on gently with steady hands. I compensate such blue wear by using a gun blue pen on my GSG STG-44. There is no scratch into the gun metal. Hope this helps.

In my estimation if it goes back the exactly same way you took it off and nothing has been altered or changed with the scope settings or scope rings and or mount rail settings then it should work fine. The better part of valor though in my thinking is never hurts to check out your guns accuracy before going hunting especially. Can't swap the scope and mounts to another weapons though and expect the same accuracy as the one it was on. Every gun has it's own idiosyncrasies and is unique unto it's self.

So far i've used this product twice on my guns and it works perfect... after cleaning I cleaned my finish off and the finish is fine so far...

I didn't need anything for mine. Everybody and every company is going to have their ideal product to use alongside. I like mink oil for most of my leather items, but I haven't used anything on my holster. I will look into the Apple brand and see more about that product. Softeners certainly would not be advisable as it is a molded product and would probably disrupt the mold. Was meaning more on the areas where the gun is getting friction going in and out of the holster. I got mine in winter and was a lot of snow, probably got mine slightly damp which probably sped the process up somewhat, but still shouldn't soak as that might also disrupt the form. Is a great holster though, my favorite so far. I didn't need anything for mine. Everybody and every company is going to have their ideal product to use alongside.

Oh yeah.., Generally speaking silicone sprays, like WD-40, are used to displace water, lubricate and provide some rust protection on locks, tools, and metallic moving parts. I bought it to use on my BB and Pellet rifles. They are both over 70 years old and I didn't want to risk spraying the barrels and seals with something too harsh a solvent. This, I believe was recommended for its relatively benign composition. By the way, both rifles are working astonishingly well for being so old. The seals appear to allow significant air pressure to build so the FPS blast of air fires that BB and pellet with a lot of power. I believe I am getting at least 600 of FPS out of a manufactured design of 760.., way back when. As they say.., 'they sure don't build them like they use to'. Gary

No. The only purpose of the brush is to remove any carbon build up. Obviously if you have a lined barrel you don't wasn't to use the brush at all. Although I mostly use the eyelet and cleaning cloths, none of my guns have a big issue with carbon in the barrel because of the type of ammo I use.

Sorry, but I can't really answer this one. I bought it and put it into my collection. Because it is a "coating" I never carry it. I stickto non- scratchable finishes for daily carries.
