Ok, I just picked up a new pistol this week. It doesn't matter what kind it is, but I will tell you its a Sig Sauer SP2022 9mm. I have not taken it out to shoot yet, but I did clean it from all the sticky grease they package them with and lubed it up. While I was handling it, I noticed something I have never noticed before on any pistol. If you press the front of the slide back about a quarter of an inch to do a brass check and lightly release, the slide will not go back into full battery. But if you press the rear of the slide just a bit it goes back into full battery.
Now this does not happen when the takedown pin is removed, but only when it is inserted. I am wondering if this just means I need to take the gun out and shoot it a few hundred times to smooth everything out. I have noticed that my Glocks are quite stiff until I get about 500 or 600 rounds through them then they are nice and smooth.
This is what it should look like.
This is me pressing it back.
And this is what happens when you release. Notice the guide rod protruding a little.
