I'm looking at buying my first handgun, a used Glock 19, 2nd generation, from my new favorite gun shop. I've only handled it long enough to compare it to other models, but I noticed that the feed ramp is scuffed.
I don't know whether it's really damaged, or if it's just superficially marked. When I get some down payment money together I'm going to examine the gun more thoroughly, and try to get the dealer to polish the ramp for me.
Just how shiny does it need to be? Like a mirror? Is it OK if it still has some marks on it after the guy polishes it, as long as it's not actually dented/scraped? How do I tell? What does a "typical" feed ramp look like after x-number of rounds?
