Hi everyone,
I'm pretty new to firearms, other than a bunch of youtube videos and few rentals at the range, I am relatively green. So I purchased a PPQ Match 5 as my first firearm, brought it home read the manual, and took it apart to clean the factory grease and the test fire residue. After field stripping the firearm I noticed it was not lubricated very well and aI continued to inspect the frame I noticed that the finish on the metal slide rails on the frame was faded. I can see what I assume is aluminum through the black finish. Is this something I should be concerned about? I haven't shot a single round through the gun yet. I did clean and lube it with ballistol and added Lucas gun oil to the slide and frame. I'm sure if I maintain it it should be fine, but is that something i can replace in the future? It is even an option?
Thank you for helping this poor greenhorn.
