Hi all. I own a S&W .380 M&P Shield EZ. (M2.0)
This is my first handgun. It has never been fired.
So, last night I had the slide pulled back and locked. Just looking at some of the innards. That's when I noticed the barrel has a slight but noticeable upward angle. The barrel has the normal "slack" when moved with my hand. I assume that is normal, yes? So, why the angle? Attached is a pic. I was guessing that the barrel will tilt down to a "level" position when the slide is forward. More likely it's my inexperience with a handgun and this is a normal feature for auto handguns. tia.
