I just traded for a LNIB 92fs on the EE. i didnt notice any ware on anything. how long does it take to start to wear on the barrel(like the police trade-ins that i see at the dealers)?? i was gonna get a threaded barrel for it too(jarvis). I wanted to put a suppressor on it. any advice??

thanks

W-E-A-R is what you mean, I think.

It will normally take a couple hundred rounds to mark the blueing off of the barrel & slide, IMO. Heat does some tarnishing as well. I wouldn't sweat it too much if it doesn't have wear marks, it just means it wasn't shot much.

Yes. Wrap it (unloaded) in an oily rag & locked away in your safe. Aside from that, every single 92 model will show wear on its blueing as it's used. S/S will probably not look as contrasting with holster/shooting wear, IMO. However, *I* really don't care too much for S/S guns/finish looking............

Guns are like shoes: they're gonna show wear when they're used.
