I do NOT have resale in mind. I have never sold any firearm I've ever purchased. But it is a legitimate purchase point for many. The price of this particular model surpasses by a third the most I ever intended to pay for ANY handgun. So far, with minor issues that are being addressed, it's been worth every cent.
I'm also not dismissing your experience, but that is
your experience, and mine is that I've never had a semi-auto, including my S&W nitride barreled models, develop any wear at all, much less like this. The ring at the end of the barrel corresponds with the shimming at the end of the slide, and my fingernail catches on it. I cannot think of any argument that will convince me that wear that deep is going to "smooth out" from continued firing.
