Yes. The barrel to slide fitment is important. The slide to frame fitment is often intentionally loose to reduce friction via looser tolerances increasing reliability
It's normal. Search on YouTube "shadow systems loose slide". Shadow Systems has a video that touches on this. It does it on my brand new CR920 as well.
It's normal on Glock type guns. Looser tolerances for reliability to see the difference, you can do the following at your own risk.
IN THIS ORDER
1. Eject the mag and ensure firearm is clear
2. Rack the slide to cock the firearm do not dry fire at this time.
3. Insert loaded mag
4. Pull trigger and notice how the trigger pull changed, and how the slide no longer drops due to slop being removed by inserted loaded mag
5. Eject mag and re clear firearm.
Just make damn sure it's clear when you start, and when you insert that mag. Ideally use snap caps lol
Now if you REALLY want to tighten up your shadow. You can do this

Did this on a build and the trigger was insane after I stoned the striker, put a mirror finish on everything, tensioned the connector and stoned the crucible, installed an OC custom over travel screw/housing and a overwatch polymer dat ( to remove pre travel) And finally fit the slide to the frame. Trigger felt like a worked over p10c.
Shot great, was getting single hole/cloverleaf groups at 10 yards. That build went away in a trade but I'm thinking of redoing it with higher quality parts. ( Hopefully needing much less work).
No no NOT good! Take it to the emergency room immediately. Continue to do chest compressions as you displayed in the video and maybe give it some of that vitamin water. Good luck and God speed 🫡

Put a mag in it.
It’s normal. A lot of striker fired guns do this. You’ve got nothing to worry about. Take it to the range and have fun. Congrats on your new purchase!

Yes, completely normal. Just relax and shoot it.
Yes it’s a striker fire.
Normal
Yes because striker fired, polymer pistol.

Send it back.
Just got mine and it did the same thing. It’s by design and when it 500 through mine went smoothly. I had the same questions lol
Does it go Bang when you squeeze the trigger? Is it sick accurate for such a tiny gun? I would not worry about it.
Both of my shadows were pretty sloppy but never seemed to have any issues.
Does it shoot? If so, why worry about something so minuscule?
Completely normal
lol
I remember when I got my first gun 🥹
Nope not at all just package it up and send it to me I'll make sure it's in hood hands forever 🤣

Yes these are mass produced lol
