My father has a 10-year-old MK9 with the black finish, and it has held up very well. Its finish is interesting. It's not a Nitride/Melonite finish that many guns use today. It's more like the baked-on finish used by CZ, just much nicer.
His has a few light scratches, but almost no actual wear through the finish, and still looks very good after a decade.
