Most likely your thumbs keep the slide from opening on the last round.
Keep your magazines loaded to soften your spring, Its hard to load the magazine with the slide close as stated earlier, I think it will get easier with time.
The front end of the barrel of my PPS has a small bevel on the inside, the SHIELD does not have it and its sharp, you are feeling the end of the rifling that why it feels pitted, remember that the inside is not perfectly round. I dont think that the barrel is cast I think is machined

I believe your are spot on about barrell. It is the only thing that makes sense. Since the barrell on Glock 26 and 19 are not that way I freaked out. Makes sens about useing the slide for the 40. Just got back from shooting again and watched my thumbs after it happened again. I have big hands. Think you are right about end of barrell. Gun shots better than me. The small and thin grip and the trigger is a learning curve. Still shoot my 26 better but more practice should take care of it.
Thanks!
