So I picked up a couple of these in 97, fired one of them, this one has exactly 180 rds down the pipe, why am I see seeing this wear on the frame and slide in one place? Yes I have many of these and never seen wear like this. I keep these lubed with grease, a lot more than needed. Thoughts?

Oh can’t upload pictures on this site

Yes you can. Just need a photo hosting site, like postimage.org. From there you can post your pics on here. You can't upload pics from your computer directly onto here.

Nothing wrong with that.

I've seen quite a few W. German 220's and 226's with that very same wear spot.
I have a 226 with a U118 serial prefix and stamped slide with the same wear.

Are you guys seeing the images in his first post w/ the broken image link? I'm using firefox and right clicking on it to "open image in new tab" shows two more pics.

Here are the two additional images. Everything appears a-okay.

If you're only shooting 180 rounds every 28 years that thing's going to last until the year 3000. It'll certainly outlive everyone here.

If there were a problem, such as a bur, is running a Q-tip along the rail or other areas a legitimate way to find it?
Or maybe it's just a peak in the surface that that causes extra wear?

Wears the where?
Seriously, nothing there
