  Hard to tell from here but it sounds like you got one that was just assembled and not fitted or bubba got to it.
  
  I'd start with taking it completely apart and clean it of build up dried oil and gunk. Examine the working surfaces for burrs and evidence of galling from excessive pressure.
  
  Pistol smithing is more of an art form than a science. The science is understanding the mechanical linkages interaction. It way easier to stone more off than to put metal back on or find new parts.

  At lot of times people just swap out the hand. It really should be fitted. Look at the hole in the frame for evidence of egg shaping from the pressure of the too long hand. Check the end of the hand and the star or notches for indications of excessive wear. A good hand lens is handy.
