Another possibility would be damage to the hammer nose, the hammer nose bushing, dirt/debris or damage in the hammer cavity in the frame.....or debris or dirt behind the extractor.

I just thought I would point out that the nose protrusion seems less than the .040 - .045 you cited. The nose does not appear to be damaged when compared with my other J frame hammers.
I have completely resembled the gun and we'll take it up to the range again in a day or two. I'll report back in detail what problems if any I encountered.
