I think you may have your recoil spring assembly resting on the wrong notch in the barrel. Either that or your recoil assembly has issues. Its definitely not normal.

i second that. take the slide off and look where the guide rod sits on the barrel cam. may need adjusting
I have to ask, was the gun purchased as such, or was the barrel separate? I'd be pretty upset if I received it in such a condition, that would be very lax assembly and QA.
I think the Barsto was just not fitted right... not enough material removed.
I wouldn't sweat it.
Can you take a close pic of the barrel hood and slide all the way forward... I am going to guess it'll be a little canted (not closing all the way).
Barsto barrels are tight fitting that's for sure.
You are correct the slide isn't closing all the way. It is in the mail on its way back to where it came. I'm sure it will all get sorted out, very happy with the customer service of un-named company.
Thanks for everyones help
