I have about 200 rounds through my 1911, and I absolutely love it. I clean it after each outing, and I keep it lubed up.
I have noticed wear marks on the bottom of the slide, where it cycles back into the frame. Obviously, the front lip of the frame is slightly rubbing as it cycles- anybody notice this on theirs?
Mine is not a safe queen, and I view it as a tool, not the Mona Lisa. But, I do care about aesthetics, and I am wrestling with whether I should contact Ruger about it. It isn't going to affect the running of the gun, but I do notice it everytime I pick it up to admire it...
