Hi,
I've got one of these in 9mm; but I hate it because there is 'play' between the slide and the frame, it 'shimmies' left and right by about a noticeable millimeter. The factory said it's normal and within spec. None of my other firearms have this 'shimmy'. Can you take a look and tell me if the one you have is a little loose, or not? I'd like to get an all metal .40, but I won't if its as 'good' as my 9mm.

Hi Tony and welcome. Mine did have about that much slide to frame play but was sold to my brother as a truck gun on the farm. Cheers and stay safe!
