Has anyone seen a small wire pin walk out of the frame along side the trigger on the left side of the gun. Looks like a pin that retains the left side of the trigger pin. It worked its way out about a quarter inch. Its a tight fitting pin can't imagine how this could happen..I tapped it back in with a brass punch and a light ball hammer. Oh almost forgot PM-9.

There have been a scant few reports of this happening, but it seems that once put back in place (as you have done) the pin stays in place.

The small pin is a result of early polymer framed trigger pins walking out. They were pressure fit only then and that didn't always secure the pin well.

mine did that once, and before Idrove it back I put a dab of crazy glue on the pin and drove her home:Amflag2: Never moved again. Its rare but not a big fix either.. U did well.
