Is this normal PM9 barrel wear?

[WilliamG]

Went to the range today with my PM9, and was cleaning it after and noticed this:




Bear in mind it might have been there for a while, but there's definitely a shiny edge to the barrel in person, right above the feed-ramp on the front left.

I'm guessing it's normal wear, but want to make sure. You can see where it's worn away a teeny bit of the barrel. Sorry for the crappy pic but it's hard to hold open the slide half-way with one hand and shoot a picture with the other!

I have about 500 rounds through the pistol.

Thanks, all!

I was searching the wrong terms. Apparently it's normal.

Figured it was, but didn't hurt to ask.

That is normal on alot ofkahrs. My PM9 did that, My P380 did that, once I filed that little burr off and smoothed it out, it never appeared. The casings are hitting it upon ejection and as that is a pointed end anyway it s more "tendfer" to showing a burr. Ur OK, I am not sure sure even itf it has worn away that part. I would guess more likely it was designed that way and the brass casing are hitting that area and causing a shinny spot.

either way, just shoot it like u stole it..
