SD9VE Barrel Shakes?

[total_newbie]

Hi Everyone,

I just got my SD9VE.
I follow the manual instruction to field strip the gun and clean it first before using/shooting it.

During the re-assembling of the gun, I make sure that the barrel and recoil guide/spring are straight and level on the slide (just like the pictures on the manual show).

I also have watched many YouTube Videos on how to Field Disassemble and Re-assemble SD9VE or SD40VE.

Now, when the slide is pulled to the back AND locked (and the barrel appears tilting up), I notice that the barrel seems to shake a bit.
If I hold the barrel, I can shake it bit.

Is that normal?

Thank you very much for all your help.

-Yep, it's normal. As long as it locks up tight when the slide is forward, all is good...

Like Anthem said, it's normal. On the other hand, a Ruger SR22's barrel for instance, would not 'tilt' as it's mounted to the frame, unlike the SD's.

Grats on a great purchase. I can't seem to shoot mine enough.

Like they said, it's normal. Enjoy that gun

-No problem. Just remember this. We were all new owners at one time. Have any issues or questions, feel free to ask...

Yes its is normal on guns where the barrel is not part of the frame. My gf hi point is mounted to the frame.
