I've been carrying a Taurus PT945 in a Galco Scout clip holster for a few months now. The blued finish is already starting to wear on the edges that contact the holster. How much does it cost to get a gun refinished and what are the more durable finishes? Is it normal for a finish to start wearing this fast?

All finishes wear.
Most durable: hard chrome, NP3, Roguard, electroless nickel, boron, titanium, etc......
Contact Bob Cogan at www.apwcogan.com (Accurate Plating & Weaponry) for best advice.
I have one hard chromed gun, and one NP3'd. Both show some wear, with the hard chrome showing less obvious marks.
For carry I prefer NP3.
Of course, I think my next 1911 (Caspian, of course) will be gold-plated.
Cost; worth whatever the number.
