Is this little blemish on the barrel normal?

Most of that finish on the chamber and hood is going to wear off the more you shoot. You can slow it with a good grease when shooting a lot at the range, but it will wear off with use.

welcome from az

Welcome from PA!

Any barrel in any semi-auto pistol will have marks. Don't worry.

Maybe? They test fire them. I think that it's strange that some barrels say 9mm PARA, and others say 9mm x 19 on them. But as bear has pointed out...different vendors.

That looks like a handling mark to me, probably after it left the factory. Someone at the LGS probably banged it on the counter or something.

I have a LGS that hangs all of their pistols on a peg board with metal hooks by the trigger guards during the day and takes them down every night to put in the vault. Their new guns look like used ones after a few weeks of that just from getting banged up.

Welcome .
I would not worry it.

Had a new P229C that had a similar mark on the barrel hood. Didn't give it a second thought. Just shot the snot out of it.

Congrats on the new Sig. All I can add to this topic is that I wouldn't let that concern be the determining factor. I would be more concerned in how it performs for you. Cosmetic issues are not or should not be your primary focus as things are going to wear with use, so now you don't have to worry anymore about getting that first tiny blemish on your new Sig.
