As g8rb8 has stated, that's the way Smith & Wesson revolvers are designed. They will all get a track from opening and closing in that location. It's perfectly normal and expected.

The track down the middle is normal, but there appear to be unusual nicks/scratches at the edge of the two planes that form a "V" on each side of that track. Maybe the extractor is not fully retracting. Check for dirt under it, or a bent rod.

What does barrel to cylinder gap look like? Any endshake? If no endshake and your b/c gap is good .004 to .008 then I agree with the last post that maybe you have dirt accumulated under extractor or its slightly bent not allowing it to go completely down. The center scratch is normal but as someone pointed out looks like rackets are hitting the V part and looks like something is also catching the edge above your hand on the other side. I would take front right screw on right side of gun above trigger guard out. This is the yoke screw you then will be able to open cylinder and slide yoke out front while holding cylinder. Clean everything very well and lightly lube and replace to see if this fixes it.

Normal.
Don't be surprised if some "kitchen table gunsmith" shows up and tells you to cut a few coils off the spring, or to take a polishing stone to the center pin, or some other craziness. Don't do it.
By the way, the "drag line" on the outside of the cylinder is normal also, and indicate your revolver is working properly. You will find the same "kitchen table gunsmiths" will insist it is not right, and they have a freak show solution for that as well.
Friends don't let friends listen to "kitchen table gunsmiths" who insist YOU ruin your nice revolver with some freak show solution for a non-existent problem.
