[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Question answered! movement normal

Posted: 2/27/2010 1:57:07 PM EDT

As I pull the trigger slowly, the rear of the slide lifts up and separates itself a bit from the frame.

Is this normal?

btw this is dry firing.

Mine does it right as the sear breaks.

Mine does that as well. I thought it was odd at first, but it still functioned fine. My brother's CW9 does the same thing.

While my PM9 doesn't move like that, the front part of the slide drops a tiny bit if you're watching the gap between the 2 halves.

Confirmed by Kahr; this movement is normal, and diminishes with breakin.
