Yesterday I shot the my uncles P2K again. I am beggining to like it more and more, the gun shoots really straight once you get used to the LEM. The sights were also really nice and very precise (Tru-Glo's Tru-Dot). Most of my shots hit COM at 8 yards easily.
Aside from it being a great shooter I noticed something strange when I was cleaning it. There always seems to be little flecks of yellow "grit" inside the slide and along the fire control components in the rear. This is the third time I have shot the gun and everytime I notice this stuff re-appering after a day of shooting. Everytime I give it a good clean, and everytime it comes back.
It was my guess that the extractor might be a little aggressive and is perhaps tearing off a small amount of brass from around the rim of the casings and throwing it into the action. However, all 5 handguns that day were firing the same brand of ammo (HK USP, HK P2K, G23, G19, and G26) and none of this strange fouling was found in any other gun. Furthurmore, the 9mm P2K the G19 and G26 all were fed out of the exact same boxes, and again none of this stuff appeared in either of the Glocks and was only present in the P2K.
Does anyone have any idea what this could be? Keep in mind the gun didn't skip a beat and there also seems to be no evidence of scratch marks from the mystery material rubbing on the inside of the slide. Has anyone else expierienced similar things with their P2K?
