I recently sent a Colt 1911 for reblueing of the slide. The slide came back beautiful. However, I noticed that the fit near the front of the slide (just after the front of he frame) now has a slight gap, exposing the recoil spring. I've noticed this gap in autopistols only in the Glocks, but never in 1911's. Is this normal after reblueing? Someone suggested this occurred due to polishing of the slide for reblueing. Is there any cure to this gap?
