While the front of the bolt looks like it has a large gap, (and it does look a little battered) where it meets the chamber, often refinishers buff this area and round of the edges of the bolt top, giving the impression that there is a large gap, when in reality the edgers angle down to the actual bolt face and provide an adequate gap for firing. Remember that this pistol headspaces on the case rim so a reasonable gap at the bolt face is not dangerous.
