Could be a number of things, some bad and some that really doesn't matter. Barrel fit can play a part, and slide manufacturing errors can play a part. The only way to tell is to check the gun out and see where the error lies. Some people see an off center primer hit and assume the barrel fit is bad because that is what they have been told, but it isn't always the case.

Gun not fully into battery will cause off center hits on primers.

What do you mean by +1 and luckily, it did not fire?
