I thought I had seen this issue discussed before but the only search results I come up with involve unrelated scratches on the gun itself.
I've been using my CM9 for car carry and BUG to my M&P 9c. It has performed flawlessly through the 200 round break in and the handful of rounds I've put through it since then. At the range I have noticed tiny specks of brass on my hands after shooting which I've never had when shooting the M&P. I never thought to inspect the ejected brass.
I usually keep the CM9 loaded with a round chambered unless I am doing dry fire practice, which I am trying to do more consistently. After ejecting the magazine and chambered round I've noticed lengthwise scratches on the casing and "dings" around the rim of the brass. These dings leave a burr you can feel but otherwise seem to load and chamber properly. I know you shouldn't chamber the same round repeatedly and I'm keeping an eye on them and setting them aside for range use (this is my carry ammo I'm talking about.)
I'm just wondering if this is normal for the CM9 or if I need to make some modifications or have a gunsmith look at it. I will note that when loading a magazine with the slide locked back the the round does not come in contact with anything that I can see. Thanks for any input on this matter.
