We removed the safety and found no high spots or debris so there just must have been an initial piece of dirt that caused the scratch. After 83 rounds the frame rails have shed some black but there doesn't appear to be any obvious signs of wear.

The very very small amount of Scandium added makes an alloy frame modestly stronger, but it is going to take you a long time and a lot of ammo to wear out any decent alloy 1911.
