So I bought a Rock Island armory Compact 1911 (M1911-A1 CS) about three weeks ago. I shot around 300 rounds through it in three visits to the range. The first two times I had several FTFs and I assumed it was part of the breaking-in process. The last time I went to the range, I shot 100 rounds, with only one failure to feed. I was feeling good about the gun. I went home, and in the process of cleaning it, I noticed this gash in the barrel. It is not longitudinal as most barrel failures and it doesn't seem to extend beyond nor through the barrel, as I look inside the barrel there is no gash. Is my gun still safe to fire?
