Apparently, either the finish on both of my P320 barrels (P320F RX and P320C .40) stinks or the tolerances are so tight compared to my P226 Legion which shows literally zero wear after almost 1,000 rounds.
My P320 RX has paint at the front corners of the barrel hood chipped off (literally showing silver) after it's first couple of mags last month and today I only put 70 rounds through my new P320C .40 barrel and it's already showing accelerated wear (no chips though). I use a good amount of Weapon Shield on the barrel hood and some on the inside/top of the slide so it can't be a lubrication issue (I use it on all of my pistols). I have many different brands and none wear like these P320 barrels.
Can these chips be touched up somehow or does it need to go back to Sig if I cannot get over my OCD with a new pistol? Of course all I see now when looking at the top of my slide is the chips on the barrel hood!
