If by “wear” you’re referring to the 2 marks in the slide cutout they could be caused by the spent case being ejected, can they be rubbed out with an oily rag?I just noticed this on my Hellcat OSP. Besides the testing at SA before it was shipped out, it's had about 250 rounds through it so far. TIA!
*the spots in question are be the extractor*
they were steel cased. Monarch Lacquer coated. I recently got a 32 round Promag and last night was testing if they'd all eject properly. They did, however after doing it once I noticed the lines. I'll try an oily rag. ThanksIf by “wear” you’re referring to the 2 marks in the slide cutout they could be caused by the spent case being ejected, can they be rubbed out with an oily rag?
Are you shooting steel cased ammo?
Remember your gun will not stay new looking as you put rounds through it.
Sounds like you have a handle on it.they were steel cased. Monarch Lacquer coated. I recently got a 32 round Promag and last night was testing if they'd all eject properly. They did, however after doing it once I noticed the lines. I'll try an oily rag. Thanks
I never cared enough to do so.Anybody have any idea how I'd be able to get them off by chance? just curious.
if you cannot remove them, and i think they will not, you can try Birchwood Casey bluing liquid, which can be found at walmart.Anybody have any idea how I'd be able to get them off by chance? just curious.
if you ever get a 1911, there is a scratch you can get if you ain't careful, it's called the "idiot scratch"...thanks yal! I'm just super OCD...but I understand it's a tool and will get marks as time goes on.I'm gonna leave em be..
I never use steel case ammo in any of my guns, to me there to hard on the extractor, others will disagree, just me, I have used the Blazer aluminum cases once, didn’t like how dirty it made my gun.they were steel cased.

This is the only thing I can say I dislike about a 1911. However one of the many reasons I love Beretta... Simply push in on one side and rotate lever on the other and the slide comes right off. The engineers really got that right!if you ever get a 1911, there is a scratch you can get if you ain't careful, it's called the "idiot scratch"...
THAT is ONE scratch you'll never wanna see.......especially at some of the prices of a 1911.....!!!!!
