Like many things in life, I could be wrong.

Bob,
This is a very good observation and something that I noticed as well. If the pin hole were the culprit, then only the bottom would be off. As you mentioned, the frame is exposed through the entire vertical length and you also can note the upper grip area not matching well with the frame either, about where the web of your hand would fall.
Unfortunately, I do not have my dial calipers handy and will have to take some measurements with those to be 100% certain that the under milled backstrap is causing the problem.
I am certain that this is not simply a poor fitting grip as I have tested this gun with a few other grips and all exhibit this same overhang. The thing that mystifies me most is how this made it out of the factory like this since it is very obvious when one looks at the gun.
Thanks
