New S&W Gunsite - is this normal???

[Darick]

I was looking at a brand new Gunsite and noticed two things different from my other 1911, when I field stripped it:

1) The ejector sits a bit high, so that its legs are visible, but it's not loose. I have no idea how it functions, because I haven't fired it yet (still at the dealer)

2) the slide stop is leaving a bright wear mark on the alloy frame finish; maybe it's because my other frame is stainless, but there doesn't seem to be much wear from normal use on that one.... And no, this isn't an "idiot scratch", it isn't visible when the gun is assembled

Are these normal? Thanks for lending your greater experience....

No I don't Think so

Typically there is a gap, in between the ejector legs, it's where you are supposed to insert a screwdriver to pry the ejector up, when removing it. Are you sure this is not what you see?

As for the scratch, unless you can post a picture of it, we can't tell if it is normal or not.

Thanks - no, I don't think it's the slot between the legs, as I recall, I could see the actual legs and the whole ejector looked a bit raised. Not at all like my Colt. But I'll post some pics when I bring it home....
