Pistol barrel rifling

It may be worn but if the balance of the pistol is in decent shape, then more likely the gun has been fired extensively with lead bullets, which have gummed up the barrel. A good lead removal product might fix this up.

What he said. I have seen this occur many time, when shooting the incorrect lead bullet, or too much velocity for the hardness of the lead.

I have been using the Outers Foul Out Electronic System for years with excellent results for both copper and lead, if you follow the directions.
