Is it normal for there to be some up and downward play between the plastic frame and the slide? Like i can take my thumb and index finger and squeeze by the top behind the front sight and under on the rail and it moves up and down. I would say about 1 - 1.5mm  ???

edit to say it is a Glock model 20 in 10mm and i just got it today. My 17 and my 30 dont seem to do this... :(

does the rail part of the frame have a slight upward bend toward  the front of the pistol??

Perfectly normal.  Some of my Glocks do it and some don't.

Yep, Glocks are a little loose. Not to worry.

Perfectly normal.  The Glock has looser tolerances than say a 1911 and that's why they don't jam.

I have 8 or 9 and they all do it to some degree or less.
