    Default Opinions please. Kimber crimson carry marred by slide stop

    Just got done cleaning my aluminum framed crimson carry II and noticed that the area where the slide stop rests is rather beat up...

    I only have about 200 rounds through this pistol.

    Thoughts? Should I be freaking out about this? Pics are in the link.

    It happens when to things rub against each other. My sig with an metal frame wore where the decocker slid up against it. Just remember to put some oil or grease there when reassembling the pistol. Only way to prevent that is to not shoot it.

    This.

    I was actually looking for the idiot scratch, from re-intalling the slide stop; good man - you don't have one yet!

    haha...actually never really managed to do that one..

    My concern with this is that this seemed to be excessive wear considering the limited number of rounds I have fired through it...glad to hear it is "normal".
