the rails and inside the frame wouldn't bother me but under the slide stop would.

Take a closer look at the first picture, those white spots are wear marks-- down to the metal. Then take a closer look at pic 4 on the ass end above the rails.. Remember this is a new gun with less than 100 rounds thru it. If I'm wrong somebody please convince me, but none of my pistols have worn like this.

I agree. while I anticipate some wear it should not be down to bare metal and definitely not practically right out of the box.
I have a series 70 Colt that I brought 30 years ago that doesn't have nowhere near that amount of wear on it.

Too bad really. I've always hoped that eventually something good would become of Fusion. If it wasn't for Bob Serva it's likely COTEP wouldn't even exist. I dare say it was the outstanding quality and reasonable price point of the Bob Serva Era Dan Wesson that really started the hype and attraction to DW. Not to mention his willingness to do what no other gun company would. He brought back the 10mm in style with the limited edition RZ. He participated and allowed people to basically spec exactly what they wanted in a public gun forum. He started putting custom parts on production guns, knocking it out of the park with the CBOB. Bob Serva was just the real deal boss for a while. He's responsible for a lot of good memories.

Little hard to see in the pictures, but I am guessing that it either did not stay in the bluing tank long enough, or they did not give it enough time for the bluing to 'cure'.
It sounds dumb, but all else being equal, a blued finish that sits unmolested for 24+ hours is far more durable than one that didn't I would also check the slide lock and anywhere else where there is wear for rough spots or a burr. If you want it reblued, I'd be happy to rust blue it for you.

I pm'd Bob Serva over on the big board. I heard back from him. "Yes, that is completely normal for black oxide finish on a tightly fit pistol. Just oil it up and have safe fun with her."
