I have recently bought a Taurus pt640 pro, and I found metal shavings in my slide. The gun was brand new when I bought it, and as far as I know, I cleaned it well, but after 300 or so shots it still produces these shavings. Look for yourself here:

Sounds like bad engineering.

Would the bullets you are using cause it? Have you switched ammo to see if the set you got may be bad?

Switched brands of bullets?


*****EDIT*****

Just watched the video.... Looks like bad engineering. The metal on pull back is rubbing against metal.

I have tryed a few diff brands, and I found that remington is the worst for the gun but still does well. It jammed once and that was the ammo I used. I have tryed brass, steel, and nickle. I know the slide is rubbing the rail because It is sharp and a clearly damaged. I just dont know why. The gun functions well.

I'd look real hard to see if there are any hairline cracks in the slide, then.

Try switching from brass to nickel cased ammo. If the problem continues, send it back to the factory. If it stops, you might just need to have some polishing with a dremel done. I'd ask a gun smith before sending it back.

I just shipped it off. I think that the rail is catching the slide and taking metal off each time. I would rather they just fix it for free. I dont know enough to do anything with a dremel as far as firearms go.
