Hellcat Barrel Pitting

[KJMac]

Just curious if others are having this issue. My Hellcat is about 14 months old with approximately 600-800 rounds through it. Cleaning it the other day I notice the barrel muzzle showing significant wear and tear with pitting. I have not seen this on any of my other handguns. I use standard, commercial ammo with no reloads.

My Hellcats are fine after several years and several thousand rounds.

Looks like lead deposits.

Also agree: that’s leading.

It doesn’t hurt anything, but it’s fairly easily removed with a copper bore brush.

clean your pistol, your barreling looks dirty as well

I also was thinking lead deposit.
