Is this wear normal?

Hello All,

Just bought this P07 used, previous owner said it had only 50 rounds through it.  But there's wear on the top of the barrel assembly - is this normal or is something wrong here?

I only have about 100 rounds through mine and have wear in that location, also. Mine, however, is not as pronounced as yours. It's just light wear.

That's a spot that normal wear occurs. It's a good idea to oil the top of the barrel there and in front of the chamber where it locks up. Running it dry will wear through the finish more quickly. This is all probably old news to you, but also oil around the barrel where it rides in the end of the slide.
