My 5 ProVari's always only wear their B-Day suits at home. At most I only take one of the Mini's when I go out and about doing errands, etc... and it's carried in either a Parish or Serenity Gear holster on one of my flat heavy duty QD neck lanyards. When I go out for walks in the wee hours of the night I usually take a couple of my lighter weight Halo G6 102's w/mini tanks instead, also carried in a holster that holds 2 of them on one of my QD neck lanyards. The neck lanyards are my preferred (or only choice) carry because I only wear golf/tee shirts, shorts and huaraches year-round, and they may or may not have any pockets or belt loops. I only dress casual/comfortable now (in fact I've been on the desert so many years that I don't even have any long pants or coats that I wear anymore).
Mine doesn't get much abuse. I take it to work but I work in an office. I don't take it in stores or anything like that. I'm pretty careful with it.
Edited to say I don't ever carry it in pants or anything. My other obsession is big Michael Kors bags and they are all big and have deep pockets on the inside that fits it like a glove. .
