Hmmm, Philly, that's some interesting thoughts. I have observed that breaking in a new holster (leather) does seem to put accelerated wear on a gun with nice finish.
As I understand it, leather holsters are intentionally made tight to allow for fitting to the gun. I've had some so tight, I wondered if it was the right holster. But, they do eventually break in. I notice new wear marks on the finish.
Another thing that addresses one of the questions you asked pertaining to a holster that is not being used. Everyone I know either simply stores the holster empty or if they've got a gun to fit it maybe with the gun in it. Another thing I have noticed is that if I don't use a holster for a while, it seems to tighten up some and I have to tolerate a tight fit again, but it "breaks in" much quicker than the first time.
I don't know how accurately the dummy guns are made so can't help you with that. In fact, I don't know that I've helped at all.
