    Just cosmetic imho, and it won't affect function. If it was purchased as new, I'd want the dealer to swap me out one with a better finish...I'd have done that in the store though. Now that you have it home, if the dealer isn't normally dealing with you they may be sceptical that you've damaged the finish and it wasn't a factory issue at all.

    ...sweat can't do that to the finish, strong solvents might.

    I think it's much ado about nothin'!

    Shoot a thousand rounds through her, and most likely, this won't be a concern anymore.

    I used to be like you, looking over the finishes of my new stuff with a magnifying glass (practically) and I never enjoyed using my stuff for fear of "damaging" the finish. Now I am a recovering perfectionist, and while still not free of care, I have learned to not sweat this kind of stuff and am happier for it. And guess what, my stuff isn't any worse off than before...

    I have a CZ85 combat and it has a few specs on it too and could care less.Its deadly accurate out of the box and functions flawless.CZ handguns are military grade and your model Nato approved,the first for an eastern block firearm.They are known for their quality and performance and just feel good in your hand.Shoot it and enjoy!--Dieseldog!

    Have you ever seen what appears to be an orange peel texture on new cars paint job?
    It is a blemish in the finish, doesnt look good, but doesnt affect the function of the vehicle just takes from the aesthetics of the finish
    of the car and now in your gun.
    Then again, I have been known to be wrong once or twice.

    My latest Shadow came the same way! Looks like it went through the production line to fast when I pull it apart and look closely. My first Shadow seems better quality but after several years of IPSC it's worn down to bare metal in several spots. I live on the west coast and shoot in the rain often but it shows no sign of rust anywhere. I wouldn't panic, just shoot the thing!
    with great power comes great responsibility.

    It's nice to hear similar experiences thanks guys Time to find out how badass CZ shoots, hopefully the functionality outweighs any cosmetic impurities.
