So I picked up a Daewoo Dp51 the other day, and a couple of things came to my attention (note, this gun is fairly well used, but incredibly well-built). First, the slide doesn't seem to match up with the end of the frame. I've seen several pictures of these guns online and about half exhibit the same "offset", the others line up just fine. This may just be a production thing. Anyway, here's a pic:

Next, there appears to be significant wear on the bottom of the barrel lugs, but I'm wondering of this is a big deal or not:

And lastly, there is a noticable gap between the breach face and the chamber face:

Are these actual problems, or just wear? I love this gun, it feels fantastic.
 
My Daewoo has a much better fit at the rear. Some of my other guns don't.

The barrel lug looks like it's scarred but that part, the bottom, doesn't matter.

The rear of the chamber is unsupported. Many pistols are designed as such... no problem.

Your Daewoo looks a bit worn but as you said, they are built pretty tough. Enjoy shooting it...you'll love that trigger, not just the tri-action, but also the very nice reset.
 
And lastly, there is a noticable gap between the breach face and the chamber face ...
That may be purposeful, to act as a sort of loaded chamber indicator. The other fitting problems would probably not have any impact on its shooting performance. Have you shot it yet?
 
Great! Thanks for the responses, that helps a lot. Hopefully I can shoot it this weekend. Its a sweet little gun.
