Anyone seen these types of marking on a brand new USP? Gun counter guy said it could possibly be a manufacturer defect from the frame being pressed together. I’m not worried about it but wondering what it could possibly be from. This is a brand new USP45T. Everything else about it is awesome. Totally love it so far.

None of my HK's have those marks. Usually the frame pressing process creates a flashing line, but that is about it. If everything else looks ok, I would just carry on.

It probably happened at the manufacturer but I highly doubt it was from the actual manufacturing process.

The frames are injection molded. Not pressed together. Someone dropped the gun or hit something against it.

Another gun counter guy who is either lying or doesn't know what he is talking about.

I hate to break the bad news, but your new bride isn't blushing ...she's been previously handled.

Good responses all and agreed. Someone out there is a dipshit. Fortunately the marks cleaned up okay with just my own fingernail, and I plan to use red loctite when in install the GG&G. Any good reason to not do this?

It’s plenty strong for your application. Also those marks wouldn’t worry me it’s an HK, not a safe queen. |

You may want to remove it some day, and adding 500F heat to a polymer frame is ... not such a great idea. |

I used blue, but red would probably not need too much heat on these tiny screws. Just hold the soldering tip to the screw head a second or two. Don’t need the MAP torch for everything.
But I hear ya. |
