thats totally fine. maybe a LITTLE premature rail wear as it seems like not much lube was used.

Looks into brian enos slide glide for grease in the rails.

sigs like to be run wet, so keep em nicely lubed up.

those are the common areas that sigs start to show after some shooting. but not too sure why theres so much wear near that roll pin

but a good preventative is the grease.

I have similar wear on non Legion 226, 229, 227, 220, M11-A1, etc.

 

Mil-com grease all over and extra on running areas, especially on rails. Not only do Sigs like to run wet, they really run better, more smoothly when fine grease is used. Save oil for fine parts such as springs etc.

 

Thanks for the responses everyone. That is what I figured, but after spending a good chunk of money on it I just wanted to be sure. I'll pick up some grease and follow the directions in the link Escobar posted.

 

ANY good quality grease is just fine. SIG is now recommending Lugas, but their gun specific grease is not doubt the same as their marine grade wheel bearing grease.

Grease, is much like religion, everyone wants everyone else to believe that what they are using is best. The truth is, keep it clean and lubed and it'll be fine. Grease what slides and oil what turns.

I used Mobil 1 for many years, their grease does tend to separate with the oil coming out of the thickener. Like many colored greases, it tends to be messy. I now use Super Lube synthetic oil and grease - not messy.

To determine if the "silver" spots have worn through the anodize layer, if you touch the leads of an ohm meter to the silver, and it conducts, that's bare metal. If the anodize is still present (and I suspect it is) then it won't conduct as aluminum oxide is an insulator.

Looks like it is fine. I had to get it just in the right spot as it seems the PVD finish is conductive, which worried me for a minute, but after getting it in the right spot it wasn't conductive. That is a good test to know about in the future.

I'll look into all the suggestions everyone made about grease and pick one or two up and should be good to go!

 

I use Mil Comm but like was stated any quality grease will do. Sigs like to run wet.

 

No problem. Welcome from PA!

 

Like everyone else has said that's totally normal no need to worry just use a quality Grease such as Slide Glide or Lucas Gun grease to lubricate the frame rails.

 

They say that the PVD finish is more rugged than Cerakote. From what I've seen....
