One thing I noticed on a new Sig 938 was the entire slide was bead blasted or shot peened - incuding things that should have been left smooth, like the breech face.
After 20-40 shots, it was starting to hang up. I polished it in those areas, so I don't have to burn hundreds of round of unavailable ammo, through an aluminum frame of limited life, to get it the way it should have left the factory
