Para with broken frame?

I've never messed with Para Ordnance pistols before so forgive my ignorance.

A fellow had me look at his P10, said it had feeding problems. As I was looking I noticed what appeared to be a break in the left side of the frame just above the large cutout for the slide lock. It almost looks like a clean cut, vertical in orientation from the center of the cutout for the slide stop completely through the thin part of the frame...right through the slide rail groove. Also, the slide stop won't fall down when the slide is retracted without a mag in the gun as it should. I looked at it with a magnifier and couldn't tell if it's supposed to be that way or if it's cracked/broken. If it's a break, it's very clean.

Are all Para P10s that way or is this one broken? Again, I rarely see PO pistols and I've never looked at a P10 before so I just don't know.

Doesn't seem right to me, though. Anyone ever see this before?
 
That's not uncommon, nor is it a big problem. Colt and others machines away the section of frame rail just above the window for the slide stop lobe. That's the best thing to do to it.
