One more thing . . . The first photo in this thread clearly shows the U area, which is the ultimate slide stop when the gun recoils, is shiny and it must have happened after the two guide-rod flanges failed and allowed the slide to move further back.
My SD9VE shows absolutely no such impact but my gun has never had any +P ammo in it and it has far fewer rounds through it than most of the guns posted about here.
