| I have found out that the more you learn the more you pay attention and that the more you pay attention the more you learn. So, today I got some new mags and I was seeing how they feed and drop etc. When I looked closely I noticed that when the slide is locked back, the barrel will move back and forth a little bit. Only having one 1911 I was wondering if someone could tell me if this is normal and if it is not how I can fix it? Thanks |
| The barrel is unlocked from the frame [see those cutouts on the top of the barrel that fit into corresponding cutouts on the top of the inside of the slide?] The barrel is forced into those cutouts when locked up [slide forward] and the "play" is removed. Totally normal to have play when the slide is locked back, if it had none, it would bind up as the barrel tilts rearward a bit as it unlocks from the frame as the firearm recoils. |
