Picked up a slightly used SR 40; new style with glock style trigger; Maybe had 250 rounds through it prior to my purchase; I have put 1,000 rounds through it in the past three weeks.
1. Exterior barrel has significantly more wear "markings" on it than my similar experiences with other semi-autos, including glock, walther, smith and wesson, kahr, etc. I have read a little about barrel peening problems, but have not had time to understand the issues yet. The markings go around the entire circumfrance of the barrel, and there appears to be some deeper wear towards the end. Just noticed that this evening before typing this and haven't had a chance to look at it real close yet.
2. Cannot release slide stop with one hand; never had this problem before at all with any other handgun. can release it with two hands, but only want to do it once during a shooting session, not fun; have to manually pull slide back to relieve pressure from the stop first. And this remains after approximately 1,250 rounds down the barrel.
Any input on these issues would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance for your assistance
