Ok.. I made a stupid mistake with my new LC9. I found two scratches on the inside of the frame. I believe it was caused by my racking the slide without the takedown pin installed.. I know, I know, stupid mistake. I have no way to take pics, but on the inside of the frame right through the hole on each side that accepts the takekown pin, there is a scrach that runs full length on both sides.

Is this only cosmetic in nature and am I just obsessing, or will this cause funtional problems? I belive I did it when I was initally cleaning it before taking it to the range as I noticed them when cleaning after the range. Other than one light pimer strike in 100+ rounds, there seemed to be no other problems.

Any input, besided telling my how stupid i am :) is appreciated.

Thanks,
Frazz

You are right on that. I don't plan on putting this in the rotation for a few hundred more rounds that are trouble free as I can't be 100 percent sure it wasn't ammo.

Let me tell you what 'stupid' really is. It's when you shoot a 9mm hole through your wife's solid oak dinning table when field stripping.

How about dropping your S&W 9mm from your unstrapped shoulder holster into a 3 foot deep stream while fishing?

Or shooting a hole in the kitchen counter when you "knew" the gun was empty. :oops:

Well, fraz, at least you've gotten that first-scratch anxiety over with. :wink:

Or wounding a perfectly innocent stove, two sheets of dry wall and a shelf. One little 115 gr. fmj from an "unloaded" Glock. :oops:
 
Those are some pretty bad scratches. I think you should sell it and buy an new one since Ruger won't repair it as a warranty issue.

I'll give you $100 shipped. Call me for my FFl.

I dont know what you are talking about, "light primer strikes" my LC9 was shooting rounds out of the dud box at the range all day last weekend
