all three of my brand new handguns (Beretta 92fs, xd9 and gp100) show copper lines following the riffling in the barrel. They only have about 150 rds each and I clean them all with hoppe's 9 . I’m just curious if this is a normal part of the break in period. Should I leave it alone for now or try and get some copper cleaners and get it cleaned.

I have some Hoppe's copper solvent that I have been using to clean my guns, just ran out and because I am shooting hard lead I need something that will get the lead out.
If all three of your guns show the same traces of copper in the rifling then on a balance of probability's it is normal.
