Rock Island .38 Super/Nickle

I just purchased the RI pistol as described above, and I am pretty well satisfied with the fit and finish. However, that said , the hammer drags slightly on the left side, aginst the back of the extractor rail. Should I shim the hammer or reduce the rail. I hate to remove any finish, even though the rail is not "bright", nor does it show, it will be raw metal if I reduce it. Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Sycoraxe

  Assuming you purchased it new, I'd let the mfg. fix the problem.
  
  If you bought it used you should have a gunsmith take a look at it as they might be able to fix it w/o it costing you big $$$. Whenever possible it usually turns out better if a pro does the job.
  
  
  
  
  If you only have time to do two things so-so, or one thing well ... do the one thing!

  I'd contact Ivan at Armscor/Rock Island...located in Las Vegas (distributor)..he'll probably tell you to send it in and they'll fix it no charge...he's truly a class act...
