Thanks for the heads up. I checked the hammer for any burs but it is fine as a whistle. So I take it is simply a factory mistake. I brought it to Turners and they told me it was not normal to have it come like that but the odds were it was no big deal.

I plan to just keep it oiled to prevent rusting. I am hoping it does not get much worse from repeated strikes of the hammer. But once I find some place with decent prices on 9mm ammo (absolutely non available in southern california) I'll put 1,000 rounds through it and show some updated pictures.
