A buddy of mine bought a new M&P Shield in .45 ACP. He was put aback by the swirled tool marks under the slide. After research, he found out that's how S&W turns them out. Maybe since you saw others with similar finish loss, that's how they turn them out today. Sadly, it seems (and not just S&W) if it works and saves us money... ship 'em off! Actually, with the price point of plastic guns, and since they are pretty much butt ugly anyway, few customers probably really care.
