As I was checking out my new SD9VE from the muzzle end, I noticed that there's an offset in the semi circle part of the frame that houses the slide recoil assembly. The slide is shifted to the left. My first impression was that there's a defect. However, as I checked out the 360 degree rotation pic of the gun on the SW website, it shows the same configuration. I was glad when I saw that on the website.

It's a purely cosmetic issue that doesn't affect performance at all, so personally I wouldn't go trying to "fix" it by heating/bending the frame which could very well affect performance and most likely void the warranty in the process.

Buy an SD9/40. They're built better.

Uh............ Yes there is.
The SD9/SD40 has a more aggressive grip texture front and back. If you don't believe me check them out for yourself. SMH!
