I bought a a new p2000sk .40 LEM about 6 months ago.
Immediately after I brought it home and wiped it off with a clean cloth, I noticed it looked like it had some of the finish off on one side of the slide near the front sight.
I could not notice that flaw in the gun shop when I checked it out, I think partly because the oil coat the slide had, hid it well, and in addition to be able to see the flaw, you have to look at it from a specific angle.
I got a little worried thinking on the possible causes. The worst one that came to my mind was: "It it possible/probable that the metal on that part of the slide was contaminated and therefore the finish didn't adhere well on it, having a different property and all that? I don't know, I'm just letting you know that came to my mind.
Well, I went back to the gun shop and told the manager about it, but I decided to not send it immediately for warranty for different reasons, the most important being I sold all my other firearms and only had the SK.
Well, time went by, the firearm functioned properly and I forgot about that issue until I noticed a little rust between the top of the slide and the barrel chamber. This Sk has been a safe queen so far, and being a previous owner of other firearms in the past, including HKs I find it a little strange this happened to my new hk, which brought back to my mind the previous issue with the slide, thinking maybe it was constructed on a Monday or a Friday(LOL), not properly treated.
Anyways, what do you think the cause is and what do you think I should do? Thanks in advance.
