| It will not hurt anything. If you are really concerned, rub the scratch with a chrome socket, and burnish the scratch so there is no high spot. Proper lubed/oiled it should not be a rust problem.

Ignored facts still exist
| seems every "new" gun I have has some type of imperfection. Some bother me more than others, but since this is hidden and not affecting function, I'd be inclined to ignore it.

| Weird. But, if it shoots well, I'd leave it alone and not worry about it.

| If this is going to be a "Safe Queen" or something that has some sentimental value, then you may want to look into it. If it's going to be a shooter; nothing to worry about.

"Chromed socket" I gotta find a barrel with a scratch so I can try that.

The cake is a lie!

| I won't lie; it would bug me. The theory goes that I paid for new and not for defects, no matter how superficial or insignificant this flaw ultimately proves to be. Now if however there were say, an appropriate recompense out of the situation, I betcha I could suppress that annoyed feeling in a New York minute...amazing how a little financial kickback goes such long and satisfying way. Shallow attitude and joking aside, if in the case that the scratch had exposed bare metal I would remain concerned even with an agreed upon discount. The P365 is intended to be a carry weapon, and in my case I sadly know just how caustic my body sweat can be to carbon steel. A scratch on a SIG slide where the base metal is typically stainless? Not so much an ongoing concern. But bared carbon steel (I assume that's what SIG uses for its pistol barrels), even buried inside the gun's outer "shell"...yeah, that would need fixing.

| It would bother me too for the same reasons that some the earlier posts mention. Such imperfections could also have come from someone careless at the gun shop or distributor. I have a stainless steel Ruger Vaquero that I bought NIB on GB from a well-known seller there with hundreds of A+ ratings. Beautiful revolver and great workmanship that unfortunately had a major turn line in the cylinder. Looked like some bored retard just sat and played with it while watching a western movie at work. Needless to say I was extremely pissed off and left the seller negative feedback. |
