Just picked up a new Glock 26 Gen 4. See the picture linked below. It has what looks like chipped finish on the muzzle of the barrel. Is this going to be a problem or not?

It shoots higher than my other Glocks. Same Meprolight sights and everything. Could be just me though.Let us know how it shoots!
Good question. No, what you see is the full extent of it. When I run my fingers over it I don't even feel anything. I think it is just the finish.Does the chip extend to the inside of the bore?

Already cleaned the gun, and I tried to get that off. I agree it looks like you should feel it.it looks like you should "feel" it if it is a chip,
if not, are you sure it won't clean off?
Yup. Thats likely to cause you grief at 5-600 yards.I just always was told to protect your muzzle because something messed up on it will throw your bullets off.
The finish Glock is putting on their pistols these days sure is crappy compared to the nice matte grey finish they once used.
coolluke01 said:It won't rust, the black finish is purely cosmetic. The Tennifer treatment is to the metal it's self.
That seems a little dramatic to me. I doubt it'd knock much off of a Glock's resale and a chip that small might not even be noticed. How many dealers pick up the gun and point it directly at their face?It wouldn't get me all warm and fuzzy if I bought a new gun and it came home looking like an abused gun.
And if you go back and try for a trade-in or sale three months or years from now?
Might as well knock off a $100 bill in resale value!!
Any dealer will spot that before you get it laid down on the showcase!
Now, if that was your new cars driver side door, or steering wheel, or a chip in the windshield?
Would that be O.K. too??
