Is this normal ? I have a P90 and under the slide on the long flat surface that scoops up a round from the magazine , there is a portion of one of it's corners that is cut at an angle on the left side. Not sure if this is normal or made this way . The area is right on the breech face under the firing pin hole. I attached 2 pictures. Any help is appreciated . Sorry , for some reason I cant attach the picture. The "cut out" portion is at the left hand area on the left hand edge when looking at the slide underneath.

Im not sure why I cant post pictures here but if someone could kindly post a picture of the underneath side of their P90 slide I would appreciate it. I'll be able to see if this is normal or not. Thanks .

No pic but it sounds like the cutout for the ejector. When the slide moves back it goes over the ejector. Clearance cutout.

If I understand what you are saying and I think I do.

More importantly, does the pistol work correctly?

It works great . The "cut out" part is opposite of the ejector. The P89's don't have it.

Like this? I'm sure it is a clearance cut for the ejector. Not extractor.

I'd say it is normal as it's there on both P345 slides I have.

My guess is that it's there to prevent the slide from hanging up on the magazine.

Thanks again guys for the help ! I'm loving this P90. The DA is the smoothest I felt in a DA/SA pistol.
