I was cleaning my 637-2 today when I noticed that the trigger is off center in the trigger guard. It looks perfect coming out of the base of the gun but outside the guard by about a 1/32" on the right side and inside on the other at the end of the trigger. Gun works perfect and the action feels very smooth, put 50 rounds through it without any problem. Anyone else have this issue with a newer w/lock j-frame, is it something I should contact S&W about?
I already have one gun, my 380 Bodyguard, back at S&W, I wonder if they would think me a pain if I send back another?
Be safe, Frank.

That answers your question right there. Your gun is fine, don't worry about it.

It isn't the trigger that is off-center, it's the trigger guard. Just don't look at it so critically! This may be a somewhat extreme example, but it is extremely common to some degree.

One of my Smiths was that way and it had a bent trigger pivot pin. I removed the trigger and straightend the pin. I dont know the correct term for it but, I am referring to the pin that is welded on the frame that the trigger pivots on. Might be worth checking.

My 642 no lock has a similar condition. The trigger leans to the right, as you described, but just to the edge of the trigger guard. I worried about it for a while, but it seems to work fine. I'd be a little more concerned if it stuck out past the trigger guard...

Thanks for the replies people. I was not real concerned but your post's have put me at ease. I will not obsess over it as I really like the gun. Looking to grab a 642 in the near future.
Thanks again, Be safe, Frank.
