Barrel Nicks....

[AZ Outlaws]

These nicks can't be normal???

Here are two pictures of the barrel from my Sig Sauer P226 Elite .40S&W which has about 400 rounds down range. The pics are enlarged to better show the nicks. They are deep enough so when you run your fingernail across the top of barrel, you can easily feel them.

I'm thinking my P226 needs to take a trip back to the factory, what does everyone think?

Thanks for your opinions and comments....

Those are speed nicks. They make the pistol cycle faster.




They certainly don't look normal. Is the pistol jamming?

Nope, not normal IMO. It's normal to have some barrel smilies, but definitely not nicks into the barrel.
