Congrats and beautiful pistola! I have a Vbob. I also have a RIA tactical and I wish that I saved for an ECO instead. I am in love with DW. Like someone said keep it well lubed. I also, after I cleaned and lubed it racked the slide about 250x to help breakin a bit. Mine ran without a hitch. CAn't wait to see arange report and pics!

Just as an FYI, on my CCO prior to it's first trip to the range I cleaned it / lubed with the DW oil provided. I then racked the slide 200+ times, removed the slide, cleaned the rails, etc and re-lubed, did this procedure twice. I also loaded the mags up and let them sit for a few days prior to the range trip. Went through 250 rds on it’s maiden voyage with no issues what so ever.
With regard to the ‘idiot scratch’ prevention, there’s a mod you can perform to the slide stop that is of great benefit to preventing the dreaded ‘idiot scratch’ and can easily be done with a needle file. The DW's are tight!! and I would highly recommend the above, along with the slide stop mod!!
Read through this thread for info on the SS mod:

A gun is a tool, no better or no worse than any other tool: an axe, a shovel or anything. A gun is as good or as bad as the man using it. Remember that.

And shepherds we shall be, for Thee, my Lord, for Thee.
Power hath descended forth from Thy hand, that our feet may swiftly carry out Thy command.
So we shall flow a river forth to Thee, and teeming with souls shall it ever be.
In nomine Patris, et Filii, et Spiritus Sancti.

Well, I have to spend it on something!
Noteworthy, I saved a lot and sold a few undesirable guns to get those!
