Non-tilting (fixed) barrels NEVER touch the slide. They could be made of the heaviest and hardest material on earth, but the slide life will be increased to infinite durability. In the past, slides were considered to be a consumable item. This is no longer the case. Because these fixed barrels do not tilt, they no longer require lugs in the slide to push the barrel back in to battery.

I've seen this occur a few times. Manually check operation with the beavertail (grip) safety removed. Chances are, there isn't enough room for the trigger disconnect lever to slip up behind the sear. A few things could be causing this. One is from a malformed trigger stirrup not moving forward enough (did you recently change the mag catch? The receiver? The trigger? or the stirrup itself?") Another is the sear or lever itself (did you recently change the sear? The disconnect lever? Are either parts deformed where they contact?)
The easiest fix I've found for this is to just increase the strength of the trigger disconnect lever spring. This is the right-most prong of the leaf spring. Push that prong forward to increase strength. This is usually enough to give the lever that much strength to push up behind the sear.
If that still doesn't work, the other fix is to file a gentle ramp in to the back of the sear to allow more room for the disconnect lever to slide up behind the sear.
