+1 with Baby Duck.... It allows the guide rod to cock the slide to feed a round to the chamber with out that space the guide rod would keep the slide from going completely forward into battery.

It's completely normal. If it bothers you, I'm pretty sure there are a few aftermarket guide rods that fit flush with the end of the slide.

"The stand-off devices, which protrude from the slide spring guide rod under the barrel. Its purpose is to keep the firearm in battery when pressed against an object such as somebody's chest, an animal, or an up-close entanglement in self-defense situations. This prevents the slide from being moved back because the device pushes the surface area of objects away from the slide, thus increasing the chance that the gun will function normally."
