I recently picked up an XD-45 and put 150 round through it. Upon cleaning and closer inspection, I noticed that some of the internal finishes are showing some of the shiny metal underneath the finish.
The top of the receiver is also wearing. It is minimal but enough to notice up close. I heard that with this type of wear is common with pistols sharing this kind of action.
Long term reliability is certainly important to me, but I'm a bit disappointed in the quality of this firearm's finish, which doesn't seem on par with Glocks. My Glock 17 has over 2,500 rounds (yes, it's only a few months old) through it, and you'd think I just bought it the other day due to its immaculate finish.
Anyone else have similar thoughts?
