How has the blackened slide finish (tungsten DLC coating) held up for those of you who holster your Kahr?

Ask me again in a few months. I just picked mine up yesterday. From the photos I have seen of Kahrs with blackened slides that are obviously carried and holstered on a regular basis, it seems that the black finish holds up quite nicely.

I've had mine for a little over a year now, while I don't carry it daily, I have carried it about 75 days and take it to the range about once a month. The finish looks pretty much like the day I bought it. I store it in the holster and handle it often.

It sounds like Kahr's tungsten DLC coating on their stainless slide is signifcantly better than standard bluing.
