Build quality question re: my new EDC Pro Compact

UPDATE: Just spoke w/ Bul customer service. Guy was really nice and said based on my description, they def want the gun in hand. He told me it should not be in that condition at all - I had to send a description and video, and will have a response from a gunsmith tomorrow. They said they’ll either replace/refit everything and get it back to me within 30 days, OR possibly just send me a new gun. Hoping for a good update, but looks like I’m sending it in

Per my first post, I love this gun - think its gonna be my EDC for a long time. I might have figured out the hot spot issue w/ my trigger finger without needing to send off, but time will tell. I had a question about build quality.

Ill preface that I've owned 25 2011s in the last few years, currently have n Atlas, ACW and Fusion Comp. I have been told the Buls are super tight fit and zero wobble. That is NOT the case w/ mine. The slide wobbles left to right and up and down. The right side safety wiggles a little as wel, and the grip safety can be moved around (up where it meets the beavertail). Is this more because of the aluminum frame vs. steel of the Tac? Ive watched a few review and theyve stated the fit is super tight and no issues. Maybe I got a "bad" one? Based on how it shoots, I'm keeping it. Long term, maybe I'll get it tightened up/blended better, but kinda surprised after doing a deeper dive.

Anybody else has a wobbly Bul? hah

New EDC pro compact owner!

Been wanting one of these for a long time. Shot a Tac pro 2 years and decided I would eventually get one. Last week I was at a local FFL and saw them in the case. I casually said “if you get the edc pro compact let me know”. He said they got one the day before and takes it out of the case. So, here we are haha. Shot it today and it’s truly incredible- I sold a c2 I had v8 ported a while ago and regretted it. To me, the speed and recoil impulse of this was just better. So, to my complaint. I get a horrible hot spot from where the frame sticks out just before the safeties. My hand was sore a few hours later. I watched the 10k review by nightwood and he mentioned that potential hot spot. Anybody else dealing w it and found a workaround? I spoke to a high end smith and he can do it - but because of coating after the blending, I’m looking at 2/3 months. Still waiting on the cost estimate as well, but I figure it’s worth it. I think this gun is gonna check a lot of boxes long term, so I don’t mind spending a little extra. Just curious if any of yall are dealing w this also.

Hah. Follow to up last week - I got the folding adapter in today, so I can run it both ways. Not sure which I prefer yet. Pb3 addition has been great. Also got a 100° lp today. Mostly just to have, don’t think I’ll use it.
