Yes. I can see where the slide strikes the frame. The is visible 'wear' from those impacts. This is very, very minor, just to be clear. I do NOT see it ever being a long-term problem. However, it is patently clear just by looking at the frame right where the front of the slide (the part that holds the recoil rod) impacts it that it does hit it and it does hit it hard enough to deform the plastic slightly.

Hmm thanks for that question. I'll have to look tonight. I don't recall.

Agreed 100%. I wouldn't feel comfortable with this in a defensive gun, primarily because it's right there in the frame under the recoil spring. If it jammed into the spring/slide it could completely stop the gun and you'd have to take it apart to fix it.
