Just rack it all the way and let 'er go. Won't hurt anything. I just checked mine and it does reset all the time when racked only a minimal amount. However, the fact that yours won't reset 100% when only racked 1/2" is irrelevant, as long as it functions with live ammo.
Sounds like you've got it cleaned up. Time to hit the range!
