For whatever it's worth. Here's the Colt I had done with the Armoloy process back in the early 70's. There's no holster wear, I use both a belt and ankle holster. There's no wear on the cylinder from the pawl. The Colt has seen hard use over the years. I don't know how the process would work on an auto pistol, but I'd be willing to bet the results would be the same.
