This is not uncommon with carry guns, no matter how much you oil them. I would try switching holsters to something non-leather (kydex) and see if it helps. the problem is that whatever surface treatment (parkerizing, phosphate, etc) has been removed by the laser engraving. as not classy as it sounds, you could try a wax shoe polish over the engraving. its commonly used by engravers and silversmiths to highlight areas of a piece.
just smudge it on, let it dry, and then take a paper towel and wipe it off. it should stay in the engraving recesses. try stiff paper if it smears out. you have to play with it a little and reapply occasionally.
