I'd bet it was a small metal shaving in the frame jig at the factory that skewed the frame just a skosh when that hole was drilled. That could happen to ANY gun manufacturer
Sorry can't give that one a bye a compatent machinist always blows out his fixture before loading the next part.
As a former machinist, I have to agree. But, stuff happens. If a person is in a hurry, a chip can fall into the jig unseen. Quality Control still should have caught it. And I've had no problems with my RIA's, I'd definitely buy another one! But 5 1911's is enough for me.

This man speaks the truth. I've done production machining. Sometimes stuff happens. When you're running 100+ parts a day per machine, and possibly 2-3 machines you don't always catch everything.
Another machinist here, and I agree. I do my very best to assure no chips get into my setup, but NEVER is a tall order
