i just picked up my new (first) gun. its an XD 9mm service model. i went to the range and it was great (although i noticed that all my groupings were to the left of what i was aiming for).
i got home and took it apart to clean/oil. when i put it back together i noticed the barrel was sitting on the very bottom of the opening of the slide (front, pic 1) which i didn't notice before. is this correct? also, where the barrel shows through on the top of the gun, it does not sit dead flat with the slide (top, pic 2). here are some pictures to show what i mean:
pic 1 is the barrel sitting at the bottom of the opening in the front of the gun.
and pic 2 is the top of the gun. you can see the black part angling downwards at a certain point, but i thought it was supposed to be flat as flat can be.
so, should i be worried or is this correct?
