Thanks for the info. I will definitely send a few pictures to glock.

I suppose im being a little ocd about this. Its still annoying to me though as friction generates heat during longer range sessions. Its also something that could be annoying if youre a reloader since id imgaine shell casings could get pretty scuffed up. Then its something that could generate vibration, which probably isnt good for a gun. Not to mention theoretically it could help induce a malfunction as the rough surface as opposed to a smooth one could affect slide velocity or the movement of a newly fed round, although i admit that seems unlikely.

I dont know if lubing it would be a good idea as that would deposite lube on the newly fed round, which could wind up in the firing pin channel or other places i dont want it.

Probably all a non issue but ill be very interested to hear what the glock person has to say. I have a zero tolerance attitude with glock now thanks to reliability issues with the last one i bought and a relatives gen 4 g19 that is even worse.
