Anyone have any recommendations on Parkerized sling swivels? I got this web sling the other day from Creedmoor & it has a flat 1 1/4" QD spring clip to attach to the butt swivel. I figure it'd rub the blue off a reg. swivel in no time. Isn't Parkerized supposed to have a more durable finish?

In my experience, parkerizing is tougher and more rust resistant than regular bluing, but sling swivels are going to show wear eventually regardless of the finish. Seems like to me like an instance of don't sweat the small stuff.
