WHAT YOU ARE DOING in your video is very bad for your gun. Do not ride the slide, I believe is what it's called. You're causing more wear on the material by doing that versus letting it cycle quickly. The hammer is not supposed to go all the way down; that is normal function and it's working as intended.
The problem usually exists on the slide; very rarely is it on the hammer assembly.
Reassemble the blowback unit and with the nozzle only, move it forward and let it retract. Do this 20-30 times letting it snap back quickly.
If the nozzle gets snagged on the "immaculate shape" piston head, the nozzle should be replaced.
IF anything else; check the recoil rod is installed properly, no loose screws, etc etc.

I don't usually move this slide forward slowly like that, it was only because I had to do it one handed that I did that, just so that I could demonstrate how far the hammer moves down.
Division XP also recommend racking the slide manually for a while to let the parts wear into eachother naturally rather than trying to remove paint with sandpaper, so I'll do that once I get home.
I looked up polishing the slide surfaces and could really only find one post about sanding those areas, and I think it was for making hi-capa race guns or something, it was called the compendium of gas blowback upgrades or something like that, so it doesn't seem to be a solution people have tried for this issue like I thought it may be.
