Seems logical!
I've got a couple of the CHP 4006TSWs here, and both have a
lot of peening on the slide stop--axis?--the portion that crosses
frame, and takes impact of barrel lugs, as slide comes forward
into battery. My three aluminum frame 3rd Gens don't show
any peening on that pin, or wallowing out of the frame holes
(in lieu of peening the harder steel).
Wondering if maybe the CHP practiced some weapons-clearing
proceedure perhaps, that involved dropping the slide on an
empty chamber?
