Looks like a fine shooter, Michael. Any competent metal smith should be able to tap the bend into shape using a padded mandrel and non-marring hammer or block. Maybe a gunsmith could do it, but it if a fabricating shop is closer or handier, take it heere, after you strip the frame of the upper, grips, and trigger & spring. They won't have to have an FFL if you watch them do it while you wait. Make sure the person who proposes to do it thinks it's a fast and easy job; because it is. Anyone who, whatever kind of smith, makes it seem complex, time-consuming, or expensive--find somebody else.
