I can say that both parked as well as blued guns do not stand up well AT ALL to removing and replacing a pistol in a holster day after day after day. The original CZ82 finish on the other hand is amazingly durable. Two years of daily removal and replacement, and it's still holding up like it was the day I got it. It does not look as good as that parked gun though
I would assume he did it because this wasn't a pristine example of a CZ82. Gun Kote is a very tough finish and I would expect it to hold up to holster insertion and removal quite well. Nothing's harder on a finish than the safety selector switch on an AK weapon. I've yet to have my AK scratch through the Gun Kote after years of use.
