From what I gather from reading and what DW reps has stated to me and others on forums, is that only the stainless slides have this issue because they are not coated and are softer... why they would allow the metal to be softer for the SS to chip away metal on the slide is beyond me.

What others area saying and I agree in this aspsect.. this should not happen on a semi-custom $1600 pistol for sure. This is why I am having a hard time moving on, regardless if it is just cosmetic.

By NO means trying to add fuel to the fire here, but, I CERTAINLY would NOT be happy if that were happening to my brand new pistol, cosmetic or not.

A gun is a tool, no better or no worse than any other tool: an axe, a shovel or anything. A gun is as good or as bad as the man using it. Remember that.

And shepherds we shall be, for Thee, my Lord, for Thee.
Power hath descended forth from Thy hand, that our feet may swiftly carry out Thy command.
So we shall flow a river forth to Thee, and teeming with souls shall it ever be.
In nomine Patris, et Filii, et Spiritus Sancti.
