Glock 19 potential issues

[russcoh]

While taking down my Glock 19 tonight, noticed some strange wear on the rear left slide rail. I've always used light cleaners on this such as Hoppes Elite, nothing that should cause any poly breakdown, and it's never had anything other than factory Winchester rounds through it, total of less than 2000 rounds, cleaned after each session. The wear seems to be the breakdown of the poly behind the rail itself, though it's only occured on this one. Any input, or anyone else seem similar wear?

Seen it, it is normal, do not worry unless your pistol starts malfunctioning.
Three of mine have similar wear patterns and it isn't affecting anything.

Perfectly normal. It's just the regular wear and tear of the slide slamming off into the rails.

What generation is your Glock?

It's just some Glock Perfection coming to the surface!

I have the same thing. But my Glock is starting to malfunction.

No idea if it's because of that or not, but I strongly doubt that's what's causing it.

Try a heavier recoil spring. It may help slow the wear if your slide is slamming back too hard.... It's plastic man!!!

The slide doesn't slam back on plastic...

Lube it per instructions and just shoot it!

10,000 rounds from now, it will look about the same!
