I got a new Zev citadel slide that I just put 100 rounds through. After shooting I started cleaning and noticed some unusual wear on it. I posted the pics below and circled where I’m talking about. Overall the slide is great but this was concerning, I’m wondering if anyone running an oem slide has the same wear.

I imagine it will only wear so far then stop. I wouldn't worry about it, but I'd shoot it until it falls apart. Maybe give Zev a call and email them your pics. They likely have slightly tighter tolerances.

Yeah I emailed Zev and Glock to ask about the tolerance of the slide. I know that little bit of worn down plastic inside the frame would most likely not affect the function of it but Im just a perfectionist. I guess I’ll carry my 43x for now.

Fuzzed corners are hardly anything to be worried about.

I also have a 43X, and can say that after 100 rounds you will also be looking at obvious wear marks at various points.

You're a "perfectionist" but you put an aftermarket slide on your Glock.

Perfectly normal. Worry not.

I like the shoot it till it falls apart post....Been doing Glocks since about 1989......no major problems. One of my training Glocks had well over 30k rds....never a hiccup,.......

I had a similar experience with my old one and had no problems.

I have one like that, and 5000 rds, it is still fine.
