OK. I’m no gun expert, but that is the oddest looking gun I have seen. It’s like the front part of the barrel is missing, and bent.
The gun has that appearance because the slide is pulled back and locked. When the slide is in the forward position, the barrel points straight ahead and the slide is flush with the front and rear of the pistol.
The slide is in the open, locked position. It is perfectly normal for this type of firearm.
I think all you’re seeing is the inner barrel float because the slide is back.
Normal and actually common for small pistols. Tilting barrel.
John Browning design, I believe.
I think it is what they call a drop block breach.
It’s OK, it just looks like that.

This gun, the Kel-Tek PF9 is my everyday carry weapon.
The condition of the gun you saw was what it looks like when the slide is pulled back without the magazine in the gun or it is empty. In this condition the slide locks back and the barrel is not bent but is lifted up. The gun is a breeze to clean because of how easy it is to disassemble.
Most people that carry the PF9 usually load with hollow points when Concealed carrying. The advantage of the hollow point is that it will not usually exit the person it hits. It will expand and slow way down. It will do a lot of damage and hurt real bad in the process. A non hollow point will just cleanly go through a person and let them live at least few minutes before bleeding to death. Had the hollow point of Zimmermans gun not been a heart shot Martin could have lived through it but the expanding bullet took out his left ventricle, he would have croaked pretty quickly. It would go dim in a matter of several seconds. The brain would not get any blood. Lights would go out about as quickly as being beheaded.
What I noticed from the video of Trayvon Martin in the store was that the guy was higher than a kite. I don’t know how much “trace” amounts are but Martin was loaded or drunk one. Martin wasn’t being followed because he was black, he was being followed because he was acting like he was high. This store video is most damming piece of evidence against the prosecutors case. It shows that Zimmerman had a very good reason to follow Martin, it had nothing to do with race, the FBI will not be able to show a hate crime because if somebody is acting crazy that is a good reason to watch them.
Zimmerman has been so terribly treated, for no good reason.
Smoking dope got Martin killed. Suicide by Mary Jane.
Yup, you’re no expert. The barrel drops down when the slide is open. The bulge on the muzzle fits into the end of the slide for accuracy. (ask travon)
The slide is jammed open.
All autos look like that when open.
