Well the locking notches are the lesser wear areas when you consider the forcing cone and top strap are cerakoted. Right now, I have around 600 rounds through it; probably 400 being full house 158g jacketed magnum handloads and the top strap has faded where cutting occurs and that is all I have noticed, it has not wore through the cerakote. That stuff is tuff.
Maybe to answer your question more direct, it shows a turn ring, but it is just more shiny than the rest. I will keep you updated if you wish but I see great potential with the cerakote. It could be the oil too, it seems to me like it absorbs oil and holds it, it's just different, you have to try it. If I had any other guns with questionable finishes, I would cerakote them.
