When the slide is locked back, the barrel is not locked, so it is normal for it to move in that configuration. Dry fire away! It will not hurt your gun and it is good for practice. Use a snap cap if you would like to extra sure, but it is not necessary. Also, be sure to keep the frame rails well lubed. Especially for range, I prefer grease, such as slide glide, shooter choice red grease etc. For carry, you can use a good oil if you are hesitant about using grease on a carry gun. I have always used grease on my P229 for carry. Never a problem.

Thanks for the feed back! I figured everything was OK, just wanted to make sure. I also made sure to grease the slide rails with the stuff supplied with the gun. I'm going to look for some other grease today at the shop. I have some Whichester WB and some Remington Golden Sabers JHP .147 I wanna try out! Oh yea I have the 9mm version. The .40 in two tone has not been drop tested here in CA so it wasn't available.

Congrats!

I have two Sigs and they are both like that and i'm pretty sure my S&W and my Berettas are that way also.

That is perfectly normal and good advice on lubricating the rails with grease...
