My CM9 at the dealer/question

[Dueeast]

I just went to check out my new CM9 at my dealer. (he ordered it for me, but because of NJ's laws, I have to wait for a month or two to get it.) Anyway, my question is: I noticed that there is a small gap between the end of the barrel and the slide at the 12 o clock position. While I was there, I looked at a CW9 for comparison, and the same gap, although less pronounced was there also at the same 12 o clock position. Is this normal? Or a potential problem? Thanks, Rob.

PS- That sucks. I thought Gov. Christie was supposed to be a die-hard republican, where are the gun law repeals? lol

[Dueeast]

Christie is a former federal prosecutor. He is anti gun. He also has not answered 3 (emails, and phone calls) regarding his position on illegal immigration, which is a problem here in NJ. He sucks for a Republican, however, he is far and away better than anything else we've had here for Governor in recent memory....

My CM9 has the same gap.

[jocko]

is normal with most all semi's. other than blowback models. The barrel as u know when the slide retracts is actually caming downward so the barrel is in a tilt position and it that top gap was not there the slide and barrel would stick. My Glock is the same,

[Dueeast]

Thanks! You all were correct. I just looked at my S&W M&P 9 and M&P 40, they have the gap also. (never noticed it). But when you think of the barrel tilting, Jocko is right, it has to be there. I'm relieved.

Glad you asked the question Rob. I have ticket #1263 so if nobody else asks the question this year I win!!!!

Just teasing. That question comes along with the notch cut into the slide rail and several other that are perfectly normal to ask and welcome here. I and the rest want you to be comfortable with your gun and prefer you ask than have any concerns.

Wow, having to wait a few months! That is absolutely ridiculous.

[Dueeast]

Yes! 12 weeks or so for a permit to buy a single handgun. (you can get several permits). The local and state police do background checks, and your mental health records are checked. Then when you get your permit, you take it to wherever your buying your handgun (in state only) and if buying from an FFL, the NICS check for $15 happens. If buying from an individual, your permit has four pages, one for you, one for the seller, one for the local police and one for the state police( this is now a way to "register"). Then , you may purchase only one handgun at this time. If you have more permits, you must wait 30 days to buy another handgun. And if from a dealer, another $15 NICS check. Also, permits are only good for 90 days, so right before they expire, you must get a one time "extension" for another 90 days. This is NOT a law, but a "courtesy" provided by the local police chief, who initials your remaining permits. Is NJ f***ed up, or what?

So much for that gas bag Christie. He's another politician who panders and pays lip service to special interest. But when you really look at his accomplishments, there's nothing to there.

Holy crap, that is a long time and too many hoops to jump thru. I bought my cm9 about 5 weeks ago, filled out the paperwork on a laptop and was out the door in 40 minutes! Thats more like it.. I also bought a Smith 642 last weekend, filled out the papers and was out the door in 45 minutes! I have never heard of it taking that long.

I don't
