Hello gentlemen. First time posting, and unfortunately not a positive post. I just purchased my first HK firearm in the end of July. I went ahead and got a Mark 23, date code BG. I just put through it 125 rounds last Wednesday. My God this thing is amazing! The uneducated "experts" on the internet that say so many negative things about it just don't know what they are talking about. This pistol is by far my favorite in my collection. She's a skookem choocher!
Anyways, I am well aware of the premature wear of the finish that occurs on the barrel. I came to expect that after reading many posts and watching videos on youtube. But after searching for quite sometime I can't seem to see anything mentioned about slide wear. In the pictures below my slide has started to chip forward of the barrel hood. Please keep in mind this is only after 125 rounds through it. I've only used some Balistol, slide glide and lubriplate 130-A on the pistol. Is this normal?
