With 5000ish rounds through it the only issue I have ever had with my born in 2004 9mm XD subcompact is the finish on the slide. It started showing holster wear rapidly which is a non issue to me but Im tired of dealing with the rust. With condensation in extreme cold and the moisture from being carried IWB all the time its a never ending battle.
So tomorrow Im sending my slide out to Springer Precision for Ionbond coating and some other stuff. Its gonna kill me to be without it for so long but it will be nice to have an extremely hard and durable finish when it comes back.
You can kind of see the wear on my SC in this pic but its a lot worse in person. The finish on my 2010 vintage 9mm Tactical is pretty bulletproof shows absolutely zero holster wear.
