Keith got back to me right as I was getting to bed about 11:47 PM. So any of you out there that runs into this has an explanation. Here's what he said:

Marty,

Yes this is completely normal. It does not occur on every gun but a large majority. It is purl cosmetic and will not have any effect on funtion. The slide is made of 416 stainless, which is the industry standard. The slidestop, which takes a lot of abuse, is made of 420 stainless and hardened to 50 Rockwell for durability. This peeing does occur on carbon and steal guns from every manufacturer. Do a Google search and look at the images. You will see what I mean.

I am not sure how many rounds you have through it but I am guessing not many by the looks of the wear on the slide. If you are concerned about the looks of the gun, I suggest shooting it a lot more and then send the slide to us. We would be happy to dress the area up a bit to make it look better.

I am glad to hear that your customer severe with Glen was good.

Thank you for purchasing a Dan Wesson firearm and good shooting. If the is anything else we can do to help you, please ask.

I wonder why it happens to some guns and not others.

The ones that don't get shot stay perfect.
