Hole in Beretta 92 Trigger Bar Release Plunger Notch?

[einherjarvalk]

While scrubbing down my Elite LTT for the first time today at the 500 round mark, I noticed a bit of Bruniton finish come off the inside of the slide. While small flakes have been coming off during the entire break-in period, this piece was notable in that it came off as a larger chunk and didn't completely come off of the slide. When I pulled the chunk free, I noticed a new hole in my slide near what I believe is the trigger bar release plunger notch (right side of the slide under the decocker). A photo is below - am I correct in assuming that all B92 slides have this hole cut in them and subsequently filled up during the Bruniton coating, or should I be concerned at all about the structural integrity of my slide? I'm assuming that someone with an Inox would be able to confirm whether or not it's there on theirs, but I haven't seen any other photos of this that I can find.

If you're pointing to a long slit that goes though to the slide rail, all mine have it to some extent. In a brand new slide I have it's barely visible, but in a 92 with >30K I can see daylight through it.

Same with my Beretta 92 pistols. Here’s a picture of a 92FS Compact with a couple thousand rounds through it.

Thanks all, I assumed it was an intentional weep hole that just didn't get opened up after the finish, but couldn't be sure.

I would thoroughly deburr it just to make sure no more pieces fall off and get to places you don't want them.
