I carry in a Nemesis in a cargo pocket that protects it pretty well. That is the lightest holster I have found but does not protect the whole back of the gun from contact with the pants against my sweaty leg. It gets sweaty and rained on when I am outside, as I ride 4 wheelers a lot. Nothing seems to bother it. Every coupla weeks, i wipe it down and blow out the lint, and every 6-8 I clean it a bit. Seems impervious to lint, sweat, rain, and dirt. Have carried for about a year and it looks like new. I have 100% confidence in its ruggedness.
