Polymer 80 Compact Trigger pin issue

[thefinnmeist]

So i built a polymer 80 compact version and I took it to the range and it ran great for about 2 mags and then whenever I would shoot one bullet the side would lock back and then I noticed that my big trigger pin was sticking out a tiny bit on the right side of the firearm. So I put it back in flush and it worked fine after that. Is there any way I can get the Pin to stay in the frame better? Can I coat it with a substance to make it a little bit thicker just so it stays in better? what do you guys recommend?

next time it walks out a bit instead of pushing it back try pushing it further out and see if you meet resistance

nothing is perfect are your walls exact thicknesses?

Slide stop/release lever should be locking the pin in by getting into one of the grooves in the pin. If your pin is walking make sure it was installed until it "clicks" letting you know the slide stop hole is now riding in the groove of the pin.

That is why you have to "wiggle" the slide stop lever when pushing the pin out.
