shaving on glock barrel...

[area51]

Just noticed this on my glock barrel... Normal ?

I've seen it happen, but it's not really normal.

It's not possible to tell from the picture how much it has progressed. If it's just a mark or a very light dent then it shouldn't be an issue unless it continues to progress.

Thanks for the input.. Here's another picture from a slightly different angle..

It's hard to tell from that angle. The critical thing is whether it's just finish wear or if there's really significant denting/peening/material removal.

Maybe a picture from directly above the barrel showing the profile of the barrel hood?

It's normal to see a shiny spot in that location, and also normal to see some slight beveling on the right corner of the barrel hood. If you're seeing material being removed or significant denting/peening on the barrel hood then that's a problem.

Your pictures are so huge it shrinks the text on my iPad so small I can't read it.
If I expand the screen 3X to read the text, the photos are six screen wide so I can't make heads or tails of them!

Please reduce the size of your photos so everyone can read & see what you posted.
