Any Dan Wesson Valor owners have a finish issue?

I have a Dan Wesson Valor I picked up in early January and I'm already sending it back to the factory to be refinshed on their dime. The stainless finish is blotchy and almost looks dirty, but it hasn't been handled much. I've put a whopping 50 rounds through it. I must've picked up a defect, but it didn't have the upside down "Y" in the serial # denoting that. Just wondering if this is an anomally.

This is a stainless steel pistol and you are unhappy with it's uncoated finish?

How about some pics to better explain the issue? Is it duty treated or just stainless?

It's on the way to DW so I can't take pics, but it's the matte stainless. I couldn't justify the $300 + to get the duty finish over the matte stainless. You could see the difference clear as day between the slide and frame - it looked faintly stained, that's the best way to describe it.
