I'll let y'all know what they tell me.
FWIW the melonite finish on my special order 4566 has held up pretty well. It wore slightly on the edges of the muzzle and more on the decocker paddles and slide stop. Not bad though IMO. Regards 18DAI

Let us know what you find out. I'll try to remember to ask the region LE rep next time he stops by and I'm there.
I haven't spoken to anyone about the TSW line since they moved their production to Maine (other than ordering some various parts).
BTW, the manual safety and slide stop lever assemblies don't receive the Melonite treatment, but just a "plain" black finish. I've sometimes ordered those parts in plain stainless finish instead of black finish.
