Greetings All,

I just traded an extra G26 I had for a Solo Carry two-tone.  I have some questions and concerns about it and I'm hoping someone can weight in with their experience.  I'm not new to handguns or guns in general, just the Solo.

1. The barrel is REALLY loose.  I've read some other threads where people said that's just how it is, but man this seems ridiculous.
2. The slide moves back almost 1/16" when you pull the trigger and then slides back forward when the striker falls.  Is this normal?

The first doesn't bother me a whole lot.  The second has me a little worried to try firing it.  It seems like the breech isn't really locked.  None of my Glocks displayed this, nor did my Shield, nor did my XDm.  They're all striker fired and the the latter two are partially pre-tensioned like the Solo.  The Glock should display it worst of all since the trigger has to completely cock the striker before firing.

Does it mean that the recoil spring is worn out?  Barrel cam lug?  Am I worried over nothing?

I uploaded a video to show what I'm talking about:
