Unusual Glock Wear

[clanhanson]

I recently bought a 19X, and after 250 rounds it is exhibiting wear I haven't seen on my other Glocks. It is a fairly deep groove and is completely vertical. See pics. Not sure if I should contact Glock or if the new finish is just more prone to it.

Probably normal wear on the cetakote or duracoat, whatever they are coloring these guns with. Unless the metal itself is grooved, it looks cosmetic.

That is odd, I would give them a call and inquire based on where that line is I would expect to see wear horizontally.

That's what I was thinking. The metal is definitely grooved as well. The mechanisn doesn't seem to coincide to that direction of wear.

Wonder if there is any play in that doesn't exist in previous generations that dont have ambi slide stops.

Good point. I wonder if any other 19X owners are seeing this. It's definitely a possible rust point since it's past the metal surface already. My other glocks always have a little finish remaining even after wearing of the surface.

It looks like where the barrel locks up during firing. I would look at the barrel or chamber area that contacts this spot. I run grease where my barrels lock up and where my hood locks upon the chamber area. After hundred of rounds I have zero kiss marks on the Sig's and no hood wear above the chamber . I would check for a sharp edge or bur on the barrel and switch to grease on the high wear areas. I like the Tetra gun grease.

My gen 3 glock 19 has the same mark after 4-5k rounds apears to be from the barrel moving up as it locks into battery. I have no idea when it appeared. Still functions fine wile using pocket lint for lubricant so I'm not concerned....

Edit, opened the safe and two others in .45 have the same mark in the finish both of those have about 500 down the pipe

I guess I've never looked at my Glocks close enough to see anything like this.

Likely just the coating and the barrel lock up making each other comfy.

It's a Glock, shoot it!.

Good pictures but the 19x ones look like deeper scratches straightIn the slide.

First and last pic I can easily feel the groove with a fingernail. I think the 19x in the op's post is just the color contrast making it look worse than it is but hands on tells allot more than a picture.

Very true! Good point
I'd say shoot until it breaks

It's a Glock thing. And it's on the inside so who cares? All mine have this as well, except for the 34 because it has material removed inside that area for weight reduction. Doesn't matter. Shoot it and enjoy.

That could take a few rounds.
