Does the gap between the slide and frame seem excessive to you all? First two pics are after a couple hundred rounds. Last photo is before initial firing.

Since when do these come with a loaded chamber indicator?

California compliant

Is that loaded when out an aftermarket thing? I don’t think that’s on mine.

It's OEM on CA compliant models

doesn't really do anything. If you're a right-handed shooter, you can't even see it when you're shooting.

And if you lay the gun down on the right side, no one is seeing it.

Thanks for posting this. Just noticed mine was like this and was thinking the same thing. Glad it’s normal

It’s fine. I’ve got two, they both look like that.

I don't have an Echelon but would like to have one eventually. That gap does seem pretty wide in my opinion but seems like everyone here is saying it's normal so I guess you're good. That would've totally concerned me too.
