Yeah, the barrel is def. supposed to have the gap above it for cycling ammo from your magazine at the proper angle from the ramp. Have you noticed the barrel is at a slight upward angle when the slide is locked back. I agree, should def be shot more. Other than that, that is great work on the S.C.

Do not use the crayons ... Get a laquer stick, do it the right way. I'm going to be doing my Bi-Tone in Black here shortly. I really want to get mine hard chromed but I'm going to wait a while. Modding them is addicting isn't it? I can't leave ANYTHING stock ... The barrel is normal. I thought the same thing the first time I cleaned it and than it donged on me.

What type of sights do you have on their?
ever had a problem with Blazer?

sights are TruGlo tritium fiber optic (TFO), as stated in the OP

and the Blazers are my favorite range FMJ. then again, ive only shot Winchester, Blazer and Remington, from Wally World.

well, Tripp doesnt hard chrome anymore. but when i had it done, it was about 100 + 25 shipping, each way.

so it was about 150 bucks total for just the slide.

This in one round I haven't shot. Very nice pistol

That's interesting, because a trigger job would be the first thing I would have done on the XD.
