Has anyone noticed a slight cant to their VP9?

By cant, I mean a tilt in the slide to the left.

Does not affect accuracy, just annoying when I noticed it on two guns.

I have two, both purchased from different vendors, and both present this cant.

I think it's an optical illusion due to how the back of the frame is made.

Yea I'm guessing this as well. Like on the left how the gap is smaller then on the right.



Eta that gun has about 2200 rounds through it and the slide doesn't move

That doesn't look right. Or that is one hell of an optical illusion.

The posted picture is what I'm talking about.

There is a slightly larger gap on the right side between the frame and the slide than on the left.

As for it being talked about earlier...didn't mean to duplicate a question...the search function for me is useless.  Keeps giving me a "Select forum" error, despite me selecting the forum I'm searching.

No worries about the search thing. We all know how well it works!  

I posted above that mine were perfect. Now looking at the photo it does seem to the left but in my hand it doesn't seem that way. So I did some measurements from the back top corners of the slide to different points like the small rectangle at the top of the grip and it seems to measure the same.

Also if you look at the gaps going up each side on the sides they seem similar. Again I think it's just an illusion.

It is an annoying illusion if that is what it is.

It doesn't seem to affect the gun...it just bothers my OCD...
