I just recently purchased a PT145 at a local gun show to use as a concealed carry firearm and I'm currently in the process of breaking it in, but I've noticed something that worries me and I was hoping someone here might be able to shed some light on my situation.
After putting roughly 200 rounds through the pistol, I noticed some very fine metal shavings on one of the frame rails when I disassembled the pistol to clean it and there are parts of the same frame rail that look to have been scratched or gouged. I was wondering if perhaps the shavings could be due to the fact that the pistol is new and is still being broken in, or if it's something more serious.
The ammo I used was a mixture of Remington UMC ball and JHP, I experienced no malfunctions during use of the pistol, and I never noticed any kind of resistance while racking the slide.
Here are a few pictures of the scratches on the frame rail:
Any help or insight would be greatly appreciated.
