Smith 642

I carry a model 642 iwb and have noticed that the frame is getting pitted, is this normal for them to do this?

The frame is aluminum alloy and should not "pit" in the same way steel does. The alloy has a clear coating on it and that is known to flake or peel, but the metal underneath can be damaged too. Photos would be helpful here.

No. Pictures would help, but if you have concerns, send it back to S&W.
