Glock finish
I just recently purchased a new baby glock and upon inspection I found a small finish marr and I was wondering if any of you have any experience with a touch up like the birchwood casey touch up pen? Any help is appreciated

If it really bothers you, touch it up. If you are going to use it, more scars will appear.

I say leave it. Makes it unique, especially if you ever need to identify it.

Yeah, it's a tool. I used to be worried about every little scratch etc. as well but you'll get over it. LOL

does your new glock have the new matt grey "parkerized" type finish? if so, that one receives scratches if a gust of wind hits it lol. glossy black, and glossy grey ones are tougher. glock has been mixing and matching finishes recently for some reason.

Understand that the black/grey finish of the pistol is not the Tennifer. The Tennifer is impregnated into the metal; so, even without the finish the pistol will be protected.

One of my Glocks has the matt finish, and I originally didn't like it. It doesn't look as nice as the shiny black...
I have since found that the matt finish is a lot easier to grab on to. The shiny black finish seems to be more slippery when I rack the slide... some times my fingers start to slip on the shiny surface."While the anti-gunners seem very concerned about the "one life" that your firearm might take -- they are not very concerned about the lives it will save."

I agree with you at first when I picked it up from my dealer I was like whats this grey stuff lol, because Im so use to the old black finish on my 19 and 23, but now im actually coming around to it because of the ease of racking the slide as mentioned.
