This one is hardly ever more than a foot away from me. Had it for years and while I thought that I would carry the duty-sized version in this chambering, the sub-compact has proven itself to be what is with me most of the time. Lots of flexibility as to carry method/location (I can't begin to count how many different holsters I've tried before finding the one(s) that "really work" for me). Yes, it looks filthy. It's in an out of a concealment holster daily and so it's got a bit of lint built up. It gets cleaned after a range session.
