The photo is from a Variation One. I have seen this on 1940, 1941,1942 and 1943 production year examples, but not any latter serial numbered examples. Sure is an odd location for a problem.

Let me see, if I can upload attachment. I have not tried that yet. The fracture starts as a hair line, then proceeds into an obvious separation both above and below the slide guide. It also makes the gun difficult to break down. If you are having a problem with the slide not moving forward on take down be sure and look at this location. I have seen the slide hang up on that fracture line/separation within the right side guide. Looking for a good photo now on my files. Will do my best to post one as soon as possible.

The slide grove is broken into a front and a rear section. I am finding the rear of the front slide grove to be damaged more than any other location. I would think the rear slide grove would take the full affect of the recoil, so I don't understand the failures located in the front section. It would seem this area of the slide would be safer from damage. I see it on the right, but not the left side at all. I would agree, it is an odd location to be for a frame failure. Every gun I buy that is the first place I check out.

Has anyone noticed the common breaking point location of the WW11 HSc? I have found a high percentage at upper right, rear slide grove location cracks. Does anyone equate that to a design flaw or just perhaps hot loads in an old gun. It seems a bit common in my inspections.
