I just recieved my SA Loaded Champion Lightwieght and i absolutely love the gun. I've had the gun in a Crossbreed Supertuck less than five times and the od green coating on the bottom of the trigger gaurd is flaking off and i can see visible air bubbles in it. Does anybody have any experience with this particular coating? Is it not very durable or did I just get a bad one? I really hate to send it back after waiting four months for it to arrive but i think thats probably whats going to happen. Just to be clear, this is not a bash against Springfield, like a said i love the gun and i expect some wear around the trigger guard being that its a carry gun. I am just wondering if i got a badly finished gun. Thanks for any advice.

I had a GI in OD for a while and it was just as tough as the regular armorykote on my TRP.
Sounds like you may have just gotten one with a bad finish to me.

Id call em up and ask.

Mine is perfect on my trp and has held up better than any of the polymer wonder finishes on other brand 1911s I've had.

Worst finish I ever had was on a nighthawk. It wore around the edges pretty quick. The trps finish already has it beat
