Thanks for the feedback on the gap. My 17 round mag from midway arrived and the pistol runs flawlessly
The pistol has matching serial numbers on the frame, slide, and barrel. It was made in 2001.
The pistol was absolutely dry. No lube. It appears that the springs may have been changed, perhaps an arsenal refresh. I had to work the mag release to break in the spring. The slide release stiff as hell until broken in. Put on a movie and rack and release. The safety required some break in also. A hundred reps helps.. With some tetra it's smooth as silk. The recoil spring, I estimate , is about the same as a Glock 19.
The Trigger is wonderful and is best poly trigger I have tried, by some margin. Actually before I received the magazine I thought the striker spring may not have enough strike but it did fine. The Trigger is at or under 4lb and I appreciate the manual safety feature. Actually I would not feel comfortable carrying a pistol with a trigger this light without the manual safety. One other benefit of this safety is someone turns the gun on you it not totally obvious how the safety works and buys you time. It also has a integrated key lock, but no key was provided, rather easy to make.
For the price it's a steal.
I need to find the eurorail or make one.
