Didn’t even see this. This has to be through the finish lol. It’s brighter than everything else

That won’t buff out. But if you’re carrying it in a holster they are going to get “character”. The first pic though I would try a hand type rubbing compound on it (automotive type) before springing for a ceracoat job.

Was thinking the same thing after seeing a couple videos. Someone recommended mothers polish. Might give that a go👍🏻 thx for the info

Trying to "buff out" a scratch that's through the finish on a firearm is only going to make it worse. You're just going to remove MORE finish.

In many cases, like the first pic you posted, it's not actually a scratch in the finish. It's a softer metal that rubbed against the slide, and some of that got embedded into the factory finish. Gun cleaning solvent and a nylon brush should remove that, if that's what it is.

The pic you posted of the wear near the end of the slide is through the finish, and is fairly common "holster wear".

Something. He went out of his mind there towards the end. Crack, meth, blow, heroine...something.

My guess is that it's a rub point where the kydex is rubbing IWB. Looks to be right about where the belt and the holster would be.

I wouldn’t even consider that a scratch , most glocks get like that the moment I put them in a holster 2-3 times , I have a Glock that I carry in a minimalist holster were there is nothing to protect the slide and the metal button and zipper of my jeans has scratched that gun so bad that looks like I dragged the damn thing to the bottom of the river.
