It is more around 1/4" The problem is that it isn't locked at all. It won't lock, period.

Hey all, I just bought a new Nova and I am very pleased with it except for one minor thing. When the gun is unloaded and you rack the slide action it doesn't fully lock forward and there is about a 1/4 to a 1/2 inch of forward and back play in the slide action. The gun shop says that it is normal because the forearm is riveted to te slide, but it seems pretty sloppy to me. Is this normal????
