Default 442 Locking Bolt Pin

So the locking bolt pin on my new 442 pro is more off center than I've noticed on any previous J-frame I've owned. Everything seems tight. Do I take a punch and tap it down, or leave it be? Only about 200 rounds of standard pressure so far.

If it bothers you it's not going to hurt in tapping it a little until it's more equal on both sides. If it means no difference to you just leave it alone. Good luck.

It would bug me. If I could tap it in without marring the finish or worse, slipping and scratching the lug, I'd do it.
