Purchased a CW9 for my wife for CC. She loves the gun. Has ran about 250 rounds through it flawlessly. She took it to the range last night and I was just about to clean it.

I noticed the guide rod looks very rough. It's black but it looks like the spring has rubbed a lot of the black off, which is no big deal. But what does concern me is that you can actually feel the grooves in the guide rod. Looks and feels like a file has been taken to it.

Nevermind. Found my own answer. Apparently it's normal.

I've put about 500 or so rounds through mine in the last year and it looks the same as what you are describing.
