Been to the range twice with my RM 380 and it is an awesome 380 compared to my other two. I now have 400 rounds down range. As I was cleaning it I noticed an unusual wear on the part where the barrel meets the RM380 receiver. There is no other sign of contact anywhere else. Any idea why this is happening. Picture provided. Thank you.

The slide has no sign of contact. When the slide goes back after firing the barrel remains in place so there shouldn't be any rubbing at all. Weird. I sent Remington an email to see what they have to say.

To me it seems like a lot of wear but I’ve seen others that look the same. I think there’s another post on it on this forum but it’s possible it’s on a different forum.

This is the only aluminum frame gun I own so I don’t know if it’s abnormal for a black painted aluminum frame to show it’s wear more so than a black polymer frame.

I should send that picture to Remington and see what they say.

They reviewed the photo's and they responded with and I quote "That appears to be just normal wear and tear right there". Off to the range for a few more hundred rounds before I backup carry it. This gun beats my SW Bodyguard 380 and Ruger LCP 380 and I really want to like it.
