wear at back of hammer

[dms]

I own a Wilson Tac Elite of which is exhibiting wear at the back of the hammer. My gun is finished in all black Armor Tuff. I sent the gun back to Wilson after completing the breakin of 500 rounds as the wear started to show up somewhere in the 300's. They light blued the back of the hammer and shot 75 rounds through it and stated they couldn't get the hammer to make any contact with the beavertail safety-they refinished both areas and sent it back to me. Well I have just under 1000 rounds through it total and again the wear is showing again. I am an extreme perfectionist and find this to be unacceptable on a gun which cost me $3k. I have a compact CQB costing me over $1k less and it shows no wear. I am very aware there is contact in this area during battery, and I am not thumb cocking my gun. My problem with this is as evidenced by previous postings on this subject some guns show wear and others don't. What gives? Feedback and input on this is welcome :confused:

With an unladed gun, cock the hammer and then push it further back and see if the 'wear' area lines up with the contact between the hammer and grip safety (if it actually touches).
If there is not enough resistance during firing, the momentum the slide supplies to the hammer can cause it to continue travelling and strike the grip safety recess. The main spring could need replacement, or the recoil spring.
Other possibilites are a signifiacnt mismatch between hammer style and grip safety (to large on the hammer 'spur' or an undersize clearance cut in the beavertail).
Overpressure loads can also get things moving to quickly.

When the pistol is fired, and the slide retracts it moves the hammer beyond the point where it will be when cocked. If the marks bother you, carefully remove a little of the hammer spur and cold blue that area.

Cold blue on a pistol that costs 3K? Surely, you jest.
On that pistol, send it back to Wilson, or the person who worked on it last, explain the problem, call the marks to his attention and make the suggestion that on a pistol of that naturek you'd appreciate it if the hammer and grip safety fit properly before the final finish is applied.
