So, I am working on building a 9mm 2011, and I am working on fitting the barrel to the slide.
I got the hood fitted, the bushing fitted, and I have .465 locking lug engagement.
I've built .45ACP 1911's and 2011's, but this is my first 9mm.
Is the barrel supposed to sit with a slope towards the muzzle? The back of the barrel hood to the top of the slide, at full lock is .0905 and the front of is .1005. It's not a lot of slope, but it is visible.
Is this normal with 9mm barrels? Do I just adjust the sights and call it good? Is something wrong with the parts?
This is a KKM Precision bbl and a Fusion 9mm Slide.
For reference those that like visual aids:
You can see that the Chamber are is sloped vs the slide.

It's harder to see in the picture, but the muzzle is slanted down as well.
