I've been meaning to make this post but have been busy. Tomorrow I am planning on going to the range so I figured I would go ahead and start it off now, so I am reminded to finish it.
I am VERY disappointed with the finish on the slide. I have reached the 6 months mark of owning this Glock 19, and it is my carry pistol. I use a quality Kydex IWB holster 80% of the time, and the rest of the time it is sitting in a Leather OWB holster. I bought the Glock so I could abuse it and not feel bad about it getting scratched up. I've just never seen a finish wear so quickly.
On the very tip of the slide you can already see bare metal.. also, the back of the slide is the same way. There are scuffs along the side of the slide as well. The pistol looks like it has 3000+ rounds through it and is 3 years old. My USP 45 has been around since 1998 and it's finish looks beautiful compared to the Glock. I am very tempted to contact Glock to see if they can blue it for me.
I'll add photos after the range tomorrow. I'm curious if I shoot another 100 rounds through it, if it'll look worse.
