New DW Valor has significant peening on slide -- How normal is this?

[SiegeX]

Thanks for the reply. How much peening would you say I have in relation to your CCO's "normal" amount out of curiosity?

In either case, I just sent off an email with these pictures attached to [email protected]. I've heard great things about DW customer service, the name Keith keeps coming up, so I have high hopes I will be taken care of. This pistol is an absolute dream to shoot and it's everything I ever hoped my first 1911 would be (sans this problem of course.)
