Default Cylinder Wear

A am new to revolvers and had a questions about some wear showing up on my nib model 10 (which has had about 250 rounds through it). There is a small wear spot on the bottom of the frame under the cylinder, on the right side as I shoot the gun.

Also, the very front edge of the side of the cylinder is showing a thin wear line all the way round. Very narrow, but the blue is worn away.

Is all of this normal wear?

Thanks for your help.

Sam

A line at the cylinder stop notches would be normal, but I would call that the rear of the cylinder. I finally found a no-lock Centenial at a local Cabela's, and was shocked at the yoke to cylinder shaft clearance and endplay. This was a new gun, and you could visibly change the barrel gap. Only my worn out j-frames exhibit this much slop.
