I bought a PSA 1911 frame during Black Friday. I know its cast, but reviews seemed favorable for builds. I had a full 1911 parts kit I been itching to install. The trigger, hammer, safety, internals are all usgi. The slide/barrel are marked 'TZ' which is IMI. Everything installed fine with only some parts requiring minor fitting. But when it was all done I noticed something odd.......... the frame & slide are not flush at the rear. Looks like the slide sits just a tad forward of the frame.
I read somewhere that it could have to do with the barrel legs on the bottom lug. But I also tried another slide, another barrel, all with same results. After following all basic safety checks posted on C&S, I decided to try it at the range. Aside from the ejector needing a little tuning, it ran flawlessly. Everything works as it should but cosmetically it bugs me. Just wondering if anything else had this after a built and what could cause it?
