So tell me if you find this peculiar

[Kingfish]

When I was looking over my new WC, I noticed something that didn't seem quite right. I took a couple of pics to show what I am talking about. Looking at the right side of the pistol I noticed the barrel chamber didn't seem to be setting in the slide squarely. If you look at the top of the ejection port and the barrel you will notice that there is a definite downward cant to the barrel. You can see it at the bottom of the port compared to the fluting as well. I tried to get a good pick of the muzzle. It kinda shows the top of the barrel protruding from the slide face while the bottom is flush. You can definitely feel it with your thumbnail.



I took a look at all my other 1911 style pistols and they all looked perfectly parallel with the slide. So I started doing an image search for other X9s and found guns with a similar cant.



Okay so I guess this is normal but then I found this pic.




This one looks perfectly square as I would think is proper. When I was shooting it for the first time, it seemed to be shooting low, but I thought it was just me getting used to the different sight picture this pistol has. I realize I can raise the rear sight up to adjust for this. It just seems rather random for what is supposed to be a top tier precision made pistol. Thoughts???

Coulda bought a Tisas and put the other 2500 in your pocket.

That's just the way they are designed. Mine's like that. That one in the bottom pic is the same as all the rest, it's just an optical delusion that makes it looks perfectly square but the machined ovals and the top have that downward cant. It's just the way it locks up but it's doesn't affect anything but OCD.
