Legal Manufacturing, LLC has further modified the recently released NIB BATTLEWORN™ Glock® 19 to improve performance by increasing tactile feel and aesthetics of the firearm. The factory Glock® 19 slide is plated in NIB BATTLEWORN™ and the factory Glock® 19 barrel is plated in a matte variant of Legal Manufacturing, LLC’s proprietary NIB ONE®. The nickel boron plated surfaces reduce the operating friction of the firearm. Material is strategically removed from the slide and front serrations are added to achieve improved weight, balance and weapon manipulation. The NIB BATTLEWORN™ MOD 1 Glock® 19 is a performance firearm that does not sacrifice Glock® factory reliability. Features include the following:
•NIB BATTLEWORN™ plated Glock® slide with factory markings
•NIB ONE®(matte) plated Glock® barrel with factory markings
•Forward serrations
•Weight reducing side and top slide cuts
NIB BATTLEWORN™ is a patent‐pending nickel boron plating process that offers wear resistance while simultaneously reducing friction to aluminum, steel, and titanium firearm surfaces. NIB BATTLEWORN™is a dark shade of gray with an aesthetically distressed, modern “battle” finish. Legal Manufacturing LLC’s proprietary plating process creates a smooth and uniform surface and increases the hardness of the plated part to over 70 Rockwell hardness. NIB BATTLEWORN™ does not add significant dimension to the metal surface ensuring it can be applied on nearly all firearm components with no adverse impact on operation

I understand NiB is a good plating, but "aesthetically distressed?"
I don't understand pre-worn finishes. I want my new gun to look new and to do my own distressing.
