New DW Valor has significant peening on slide -- How normal is this?

[aqualungs]

Here's where it becomes debate. I saw some info where it's normal and some stating not normal. DW is telling me it's normal and won't wear down anymore after this. I am thinking that if it wears down more they consider that abnormal. I wonder if there is so much room for Peening before it is considered a defect. If they are saying it's normal, I am just glad I don't need to send it in. I do plan on hard chroming this pistol this year and am not sure if I should wait longer or if I will benefit from the harder finish.
