Yes, your days of going to the gun range and nobody bothering you while you shoot are *over*.
Congrats on the new Raptor! A facinating design, you just have to appreciate it even if you didn't like .45's (Gasp!)

Looked hard at the Raptor but decided on the Tactical. I figured if I scratched the Raptor Ultra II I;d start crying in the range. Just over 500 rounds and not a problem one.

Are you kidding? First time I knicked my Tactical I almost cried.
After 600 rounds its got a few knicks. I'm tossing around the idea of having the slide re-done in Black-T so it will withstand daily carry better, as well as the magazines.
Thought about doing the PSS as well, but figured that can wait. I don't have the cash for both right now.

I figured "Tactical" meant something to drag through the mud and stuff
SO when it started getting dings in it I figured it gave it personality!
I too was thinking of getting the frame redone! I'll keep ya posted

Black-T will get knicked up just like many other finish out there. Here's an illustrated version.
I wouldn't worry about wear. It gives it character. Shows people you actually used your equipment.

KinnyLee beat me to the punch. It's a tool not a museum piece.

Yep. Sure did. Now if your gun blows up at the range, then you can cry. If it's just a few scratches pull out the krylon and keep going.
