go post in the S&W section of AR15.com. s&w folks sometimes show up in that forum. i've gotten enquires from them before in response to some posts made there.
People notice the darnedest things. My BG380's hammer is a hair more right than left if you're lining it up via the slide on top. However, it does not rub the slide that I can tell and has no indication of rubbing marks. I didn't even notice until I stared at it after reading this thread.
IF you look at the frame/grip of the gun, you'll probably see a very small seam running down the middle. This is perfectly in line with my hammer. I believe the tolerance on this part is enough to allow small variances in alignment gun to gun. If it's rubbing though, I'd consider polishing the hammer in that area.

Hammer rubbing
Just found this thread. Got a sw bguard today 4-1-17 my hammer is rubbing enough to be gritty. Im going to dremmel polish the hammer on the side just a hair.
Another thing I noticed and hope someone knows the answer to this one, after racking the slide with no magazine inserted, my next trigger pull was nothing, no hammer action at all, just a light spring resistance all the way back ... once ... try again, and it actuates the hammer normally.
Rack again with no mag, same thing, nothing on the first trigger pull... nothing, I release the trigger, next pull is nornal.
I just found this on youtube

Next, I installed a loaded mag, racked a round, felt for resistance in the trigger, and this time it was normal. I dropped the mag, ejected the round, and now, subsequent racks of the slide with no mag are acting normally.
I dont understand that, anyone have that happen? I'm gojng to take it to the range tomorrow. These things surprise me quality wise for s&w.
