Glock wear is this normal?

Pics?

I think your talking about the rails in the frame, and I think that copper color your reffering to may be the grease/lube they put on at the factory. Try cleaning it off

I would not worry to much about it. How many rounds have you put through her? Is there any irregular wear elsewhere?

[leelaw]

Pictures would be helpful.

If you are talking about the four rails, then yes, there should be wear there, but it shouldn't get to bare metal so quickly. Is the gun lubricated properly?

[Just-in]

I'll try to get pics all I have is my phone though it's not the grease the coating actually peeled off a bit the gun was dry after one range session I have about 1500 rounds down the pipe. Nothing I can donaboutnitnibguess but how will it affect my gun down the road?eventually it is supposed to wear off isn't it

If you are talking about the copper lube used by Glock in the new guns, then leave the lube alone. It sometimes looks like it is flaking off.

When I attended Glock armorer school over twenty years ago, the instructor told us all glocks came with the copper lube and just leave on to break in the pistol. If you take the copper lube off, then you need to lube the rails.

What confuses me also I expected to see some scratches or wear on the slide and there's none

[Just-in]

Yeah I can't get pics on my iPhone the resolution doesn't show so well it definately isn't the copper lube though the coating actully blistered up like old chrome. I expected the slide to wear out before the reciever.

It might be a cheap glock plating very similar to the plating used on the safety plunger. When it comes off it gives the appearance of copper but it obviously can't be because copper is too soft it is just part of the plating on it.

I would lube it and not worry about it. The copper will probably eventually flake completely off and as long as you are not seeing any gouging you should be good to go.

I know pics would do better but the plating isn copper. The finish exposed by the plating wearing off left a copper colored metal exposed is the plating supposed to wear off as the gun breaks in? Anyone got a pic o a well used glock?

[GSG222]

Sounds like a defective slide to me. I suggest you give Glock a call.

[Just-in]

So to my origional q should I assume that is I not normal at any time for the finish to wear off of the guides. The slide is fine the gun still fires and the action is smooth. I just would like to know if it is normal during the break in process for that plating to wear off or if my one range session when it or dry damaged it or if perhaps some grit got in there and damaged it... Anyone have a pic of a well used glock?

pictures would really help us from guessing what is happening.

your descriptions and sentence structure isn't making the situation more clear

Are these the ones?
