Maybe a test will help:
Pull the slide back and mark (or observe) where it stops. Then remove the
recoil spring and barrel* and put the slide back on, pull it back and see where it stops. Same place? Yes.
Then look through the hole where the guide rod goes and inspect where the hang-down U of the slide hits. Strange, it is hitting the U in the polymer frame. The recoil spring and guide rod don't normally play a part in stopping the slide.
*(Use care and remove the barrel as well as the spring assembly. If you don't you will have to manage some special steps to get the slide back off)
