Nothing they can do, its "mil spec" but thats okay, its not like I bought a $1000 colt or $1000 springfield and I got this overhang. This is just my first 1911 and its not a big deal for a bit of overhang.

Yes, agreed. Don't worry. Shoot it, enjoy it.

If you don't feel safe doing so..Don't shoot it.

Maybe the first magazine should be shot without your face in front of the gun?

Kidding!

No its safe, I read up on slide over hang on other 1911's. It just for looks.

I saw a Springfield Loaded Stainless NM serial numbered yesterday that had more overhang than that. The Range Officer right beside it lined up perfect.

Looks like a really nice Shelby Mustang ... with a door that doesn't close all the way.
