kydex vs leather ???

Kydex is utilitarian, impervious, mechanical. Leather is aesthetic, mortal, natural. The former excels for it's durability, the latter for it's beauty. Both are great choices, all should own both.

Kydex wears a couple spots on your gun, does it quickly, and goes no farther. Leather wears the whole gun, but very slowly, and keeps doing it. IMHO one is no better or worse than the other.

I have pine sap on one of my leather holsters. I don't believe it will ever come off. Yeah, I've asked and have tried the suggestions. Were this a kydex holster I could scrub it with a green kitchen sccratcher using lighter fluid and be done with it. That was just a lesson for me - wear kydex when i'm doing dirty stuff and leather is for dressing up.
