XD Wear

Here is the wear on the Melonite finish that I was mentioning. This is somewhere between 800 and 1,000 rounds and 4 years worth use in various conditions including blowing sand. There is starting to be a very slight amount of the same kind of wear near the front of the barrel where the slide rubs and there is one spot in the bottom left of the slide that is starting to show the slightest wear as well. No rust has ever formed.
