The Unofficial P64 Resource Forum

Having owned a P64 for several months, I figured it was time to join the group....and I have to ask for some help/advice.

After firing three or four magazines the trigger pin will work itself out to where it is rubbing on the interior bottom edge of the slide.
I first thought this was a fault in the pin so I ordered a new pin, put it in and the same thing continues to happen.

So the questions are as follow:

1) Is this normal?

2 Will the rubbing of the head of the pin on the slide have any adverse affect (other than rubbing off the finish)?

3) If there is a fix, what is it? My gunsmith suggested "peening" the frame just to either side of the head of the pin to retain it, but I really hate the idea of doing "body work" on it.

Thanks in advance for any help you can offer

There are troubles with the hinge pin, it serves lots of purposes. I do not know of problems with trigger pin. The hinge pin can't be peened, but maybe the pin isn't as hard on the trigger

Welcome to the forum.

Check out the last post in this thread about a similar problem.

Nope, not the Trigger HInge Pin..here are a couple of pictures showing the pin from both sides of the frame.

Mine does it a leeetle bit at times. If you hesitate to peen it, a drop of BLUE (!!!) LocTite might take care if it for you. As long as one side doesn't come outta the frame....

I feel like maybe your Trigger Return Spring may be getting weak and not putting enough pressure on the pivot point. Norm sells better ones here: http://www.p64resource.com/goods.php Maybe try replacing it and see if that helps.

If you check out page 47-50 of the Manuel here: viewtopic.php?f=7&t=1536 yours looks to be installed right.

robhic & Weasel640. Thanks..I'll try the loctite, but will also get a spring from Norm, just in case.

Blue loctite worked for me.
