Okay, so I'm new to the Kimber 1911 world. After many months of trolling through web forums and reading up on what others thought was the best model I finally purchased my first new 1911. Its a Kimber Tactical Entry II. When I got it home I was excited to look it over. While I was doing so I noticed that when peering down the barrel I can see a light leak. It's located on the right side at the back of the barrel. From what i can tell it appears to be a gap between slide and frame. My question is, is this normal?

Yes this is perfectly normal, with the gun UNLOADED shine a flashlight into the barrel. Looking at the gun from the rear you will see the light coming out between the slide and frame on the left side of the hammer.

Thanks. I assumed that it was normal however I wanted to be sure.
