Recently, I have started carrying concealed. I have chosen a Kahr MK9, which is holstered in a Milt Sparks Summer Special II horsehide holster.
I keep finding my pistol covered with white specks at the end of the day. The edge of my holster, which receives the most skin contact, will also be covered with tiny white specks. I just dismissed this the first few times I saw them, wiping the pistol clean. The particles appear to look like salt.
Well a couple weeks have gone by and the salt-like particles keep reappearing in the same fashion.
Are these salt grains from my body's perspiration? If so, I must say I am amazed by the amount of salt my body gives off. I don't sweat often, and am generally not physically active during the day. So it's not like I'm drenched with sweat the entire day either.
Will an undershirt take care of this?
What say you?
