(And yes, the marred frame is from me getting frustrated and rammy while trying to pry the mainspring housing free - really pisses me off at myself for letting my impatience mark up the polymer frame.)

The 22/45 is designed to so thoroughly mimick the .45 experience that it lets you mar the frame the first time you re-assemble it.
Take it apart and try again, making sure that the hammer strut is resting in the little detent above the mainspring. You should get stiff resistance only when the mainspring housing is about an eighth of an inch from flush with the frame.
