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.
