odd 92FS wear (Dial-Up Killer)

Should I contact Beretta over this wear? It has been fired 365 times, and kept cleaned and lubed properly.

It depends IF and how long you want to be without your gun..

Or, you could go to any Hobby shop, or some gun shops carry touch-up pens, paint, but not sure what color your gun really is.. But at a Hobby shop, you can find more flat blacks/grays, etc., that can match your gun, and just apply a fast thin application and make it disappear, and still have your gun.

In time, sometimes short times, one's gun is gonna start showing some kind of "character lines" (flaws, scratches, wear, etc., ) and unless you are a perfectionist and that is all you're gonna look at every-time you handle your gun it will, or won't, eventually, upset your day, after all, IF the gun works 100% with that flaw, (very minor IMO) then that is the least of your problems..

Working gun, or show-gun, that is the real question you have to answer.

Touch-up paint is a fast fix for your situation..

Well, I am by no means a perfectionist after all I shoot an SKS. It just seems as though that kind of wear after only 365 rounds is too much, especially when it's uneven wear. I see Beretta 92's with 6,000 rounds through them that has no type of wear like that.

What caused it?

Holster wear, did you drop the pistol?

Honestly, it's a weapon. Those bumps and bruises bring personality.

After 5K rounds out of it, you won't care how it looks. Anyways, you'll end up with another Beretta.:D

Uneven wear? Umm, more like uneven, thinner, paint application, after all, you're talking about the very corner, where paint is gonna be the thinnest, and my bet is, and not your fault but, with all your tender, lovin, rub downs of your gun, you wore off the thinnest, area, a corner, of your gun..

Otherwise, you found the weakest, painted, (a corner, or edge) part of your gun.

Just send it back to BUSA, and be without your gun for a month, and shoot your SKS with another gun.. But, from what I have read over in the Beretta forum, *be prepared, for your first phone contact and, being put on hold for 20 mins (on a good day) then have to pay your own shipping cost, as BUSA's customer service, of late, seems to be going down-hill fast..

Anyways, I reported I got the gun months ago and FINALLY got a cam. So here's a decent picture of the gun after I put some Hogue grips on it.

PS; note the ugly extractor

...

Mine were made by the gunsmith, and his rage, vising down harder and harder on my black-steel-slide, to take off the factory sights, and put on the Trijicons night sights..

He wore off all 4 bottom-corners (lower front and rear) of paint of my black slide in less than 5 mins and that was the first imperfections made by someone, other than myself later, on this gun that is 1yr old and has shot some 6250 rounds without any failures. But, at first, the missing paint on all 4 lower corners, front and back, of the slide, upset me so I took some model paint, painted them, and the flaws disappeared, same with my anger, and low and behold, due to the heat of front, coming out of the barrel, my paint came off the 2 front lower corners and I said, so be it as, the gun works 100%..

You may have to brighten up the pic, or copy it and then magnify it a lot bigger to see the chipped front lower part of the slide, but if you should paint yours, you should have no "heat problems" and it should stay on, as the 2 rear lower corners of my slide have.. and I doubt you can see the flaws there, as I don't, and haven't for the best part of 1 year..

To be clear, sure, I could have had them repair it, but that would have taken 1 month, and what guarantee do, or did, I have that it wouldn't come back with another flaw.. ? Best choice, fix it yourself, get past imperfections as long as the gun gives you both 100% dependability and pure accuracy..

That is why I'm not as hard as I could be about my guns cosmetics. It has functioned 100% so far, everyone I see buying guns tends to have a "break in" period where they at least see one failure. I have no idea how having a failure feels like :D

...

Therefore, get some paint and be done with it.. lol

Has that gun been carried in a thumb break holster? Sometimes the snaps can abrade the finish in that area.

The frame is anodized, not painted.

The hammer is the only moving part anywhere near there, but unless you have a HUGE burr on the left side of it the hammer can't contact the frame at that point. Did this happen gradually or during one shooting session?

Also, what's wrong with the extractor?
