Sorry, if this sounds stupid. I have shot many pistols through my life and I recently became a first time HK owner. After shooting 200rds through my USP I noticed all brass marks near the ejection port. I have never seen this happen with any other pistol I have shot. Is this normal?

That is really the ONLY pistol you’ve noticed this? It’s not all that uncommon. Some guns slides are more prone to it vs others depending on the contours.

I wasn’t calling bull**** or anything. I was just surprised you had never seen it before on any other gun.

mostly shot glocks, sigs and berettas, and i havent seen this happen to any of those pistols.

It's just brass marks from elected cases. Not uncommon.

SIGs I’ve seen. GLOCKS being so square don’t seem to have anything to hang off of and 92’s well they will feed and eject a Volkswagen with that open slide.

Sorry, if this sounds stupid. I have shot many pistols through my life and I recently became a first time HK owner. After shooting 200rds through my USP I noticed all copper marks near the ejection port. I have never seen this happen with any other pistol I have shot. Is this normal?

Copper ? Seriously ? Are you shooting some old Russian ammo or something ? It's from whatever metal your cases are made from. When the RSA settles in it will probably go away .

thanks guys. just wanted to make sure it was normal brass ejection for HK's.

Its normal. I am first time HK owner and noticed it too.

Enjoy your new gun!

Ejection mechanics differ between guns. I see tons of it on the Walther PDP and none of it on the HK P7.

You want those brass kisses. Chix love a little rash on guns.

I don't see it on most of my pistols other than my Walther PPQ. If it bothers you it can be removed with bore cleaning solvent. I think regular Hoppes NO 9 would remove it if that area was dabbed with it and left on for an hour or so. I used some Pro-Shot coper solvent I had on hand for my PPQ and it did a good job of quickly removing it. Some bore solvents are pretty harsh though so as always read instructions carefully and some can even damage poly frame .
