[EDIT- PHOTOS BELOW]
So I took my gen 4 17 to the range for second time and it shot flawlessly. 100 rounds on the odometer so far and no issues shooting.
When I went to clean it, I noticed that the slide seems to shift to right (out of alignment for sure) when I attempt to remove or add the slide during a field strip. With very little force, the slide will indeed go forward/backward but it just doesn't feel right. Every time i've done/seen a field strip, the slide shifts forward (off the gun) like butter.
I have very little experience with striker fired pistols so I don't want to force the thing and do more damage. It's as if the trigger bar is pushing the slide out of wack.
Any help/ideas would be GREATLY appreciated. If no one knows what's up, I'll run some video or take pictures.
Thanks in advance.
