I finally did it...

[fyroc]

I scratched my USP 45... Built in 1998 with 1000s of rounds through it and the finish almost still perfect...

I bought a new lock box to lock it up in the trunk of my car to keep it safe and as my "just in case" weapon. The lock box came with a cable that secures the box to the trunk. Since the USP is so big it fits in the box sort of snug... well.. there was a metal part on the cable that I was going to put tape on to prevent it from rubbing on the slide... I wanted to see exactly where it would rub on the USP and make sure everything fits before I added the tape... well... the USP was only in the box for a couple of seconds and it scratched the slide into the finish.

I'm thinking about using this as an excuse to re-blue the slide and Cerakote the frame FDE. Or should I do it fully FDE, slide and frame?

I spend about $300 - $400 a month on ammo, thank you very much. haha

I have about 500 rounds of 9mm, 250 rounds of 45ACP, and 1000 rounds of 5.56 sitting behind me as we speak that's going to get used very soon.

I considered all that as a badge of honor.

I love scratched up guns.

Shooting is not the same as using/training. Beat that sumbitch up

Yes, that's normal wear.. this is a SCRATCH. I've had this gun forever and gloat how well the finish holds up. It's depressing.

I wish there was video of NWS skipping his Glock across the floor at Dobbs.

Lets see the offending mark

I've been meaning to clean it up anyway. The grip has dirt and shit in it... the previous owner polished the barrel and been meaning to get a threaded for it. I think I'm going to use it as my first host. It's probably my favorite firearm that I own. I've dropped it.. thrown it in the dirt.. had it on my side while doing prone on concrete... no visible of major wear.. I'm just angry that this little insignificant thing did the worst damage to the finish.

Looks like shit. You should sell it to me for $200 and buy something you won't mind scratching b

You'd hate to see the hammer in my junk drawer.

Guns are like trucks... Scratches build character!
