Cleaning my new P-01 before taking it for its first run, I noticed that there are non-finished milling marks on the slide rail and the inside of the frame isn’t painted. I see from another post that the frame is probably CZ’s standard operating procedure for the P-01.
I have a Shadow 2 and the frame is completely painted inside and out. I do realize that the Shadow 2 is a higher end pistol…..but really how much time and paint would be expended coating the entire frame. The Shadow has a steel frame, and rust is a big issue, but really. How much savings is there, just for the optics of an untreated frame not to mention the potential premature slide rail wear, and uncoated aluminum corrodIng or react to gun solvents.
Unprotected aluminum riding against steel can’t fair well over thousands of rounds. I have aluminum frame Sigs with over 12,000 through them and the anodized aluminum frame rails look new.
What is up with CZ quality control with the slide rail having non-coated areas?
Are my expectations too high?
