Typical G17 slide/barrel wear

[nightgaunt]

Howdy,
This is on a Gen1 G17 (1986). Is this typical wear on the slide, where the barrel contacts? Finish is worn/shiny.

I don't know the service history, or round count. But is there cause for concern, or normal? I'm not a Glock guy, but hope to be...
I know I should probably change out the recoils spring since, again, don't know the round count. Anything else I should look for? Or parts updates?

Thanks in advance for helping a Glock noob!!

That doesn't look like any big deal to me.


Pic of the barrel?

Thanks for the info
Barrel isn't worn much, just some scuffing. The finish isn't shiny at all.

Doesn't look too bad to me either, and good find on a Gen 1!

Looks 100% normal to me on a Glock of that vintage.

For a Glock that old, it probably saw a lot of rounds. As long as it is accurate I see no issue.

Perfectly "normal". That's what happens to all autos. You will also notice some wear on the top of the barrel bit the muzzle as well as on top of the barrel just in front of the chamber area. As well as inside the slide just in front of the ejection port.

I have a G17 I purchased new in 1988. Just checked it. That is normal wear. And the gun you have there in the picture looks like it has the original Glock front sight. My gun has fired more than 40K rounds. Years ago, I replaced the sights with Novaks.

That gun is as old as me... I'd buy it just for that reason alone.

That gun is unsafe to fire. Get it to me and I will dispose of it properly

Thanks guys! Going to put some rounds downrange this weekend. Maybe pick up some new sights in the future

What 625 said, I have younger Glocks with more wear,
