The slide on my 2022 looks similar to the photos posted by TunnelRat. I do not consider it a serious quality control issue since the 2022 is not the most expensive Sig. The gun functions perfectly, and, this "defect" is on the inside so it is never seen unless it is apart.
Still, I can see where someone who spent a good bit of money would expect better. If corners were cut here, where else did they cut corners?
I suppose it is a sign of the times. No matter what industry, what product, someone is looking to reduce production costs. My other hobby is motorcycles and I have seen it here as well (e.g. BMW will never admit they have a problem with a vehicle and production of some components is outsourced to low labor rate countries).
