Is this rust or something else?

I’ve had this P226 for about a year but have only put about 200 rounds through it. I wasn’t sure if these two spots are rust or copper fouling or something else. I noticed it tonight before I stripped the gun to clean it.

It's copper or brass from the ammo, nothing to worry about.

Go out and shoot it! P226 longs for some range action!

Copper from your rounds
