Shot 50 rounds ttoday, through a factory new P30/VP9 magazine and noticed I was getting polymer shavings towards the end of the mag
Took a look at the mag and saw this. 
Normal wear that will stop at a point or should I be concerned? |

Looks like it just had a little extra plastic flash that's flaking / wearing off with use. If it bugs you, clean it up with an exacto knife.

I don't know what exactly causes it but all of my P30 mags look just like that. It seems to get to a certain point and then not get much worse.
It looks like it's caused by the rim of the shell but I'm not sure how. Initially I thought it was from loading the first round but after paying attention to where I push down the round when I load it I don't think that's it...I'm stumped

The VP9 is my favorite handgun, easily. It is exactly what I was looking for, back in 2009, just a shame they didn't make it yet haha. |

It's from the rim of the case when the last case is chambered. Some magazines have a slight depression molded there to prevent it.
