    PPKS walking pin

    I recently shot about 75 .380's through my Walther/Interarms ss PPKS, and when I went to clean it, I noticed that the trigger pivot pin had walked out about 1/8" to the right. Completely out of the left hand hole in the frame.
    Does anyone know how this pin is suposed to be kept in place?
    It is hard to see in there, and I don't want to pull it out and have a spring go zinging out.

    Oi...I have one, but haven't experienced any issues with it. Maybe, some locktite. Or if you feel confident maybe try taking the pin out and very slightly flaring the pin on the opposite end so that you can only punch it out in one direction, but i dunno i am not a gun smith. you could take it to a smith and ask them, or get them to fix it. Post some pics if you can

      I think it is held in with a portion of the trigger spring. I will check tomorrow.

        OK, it is held in position with a spring. Looks like a pain in the *** to replace.
        With just a fast search, I'm having a hard time finding a replacement spring. Anyone have any ideas where to get one?

            Your spring maybe fine. The pin needs to be inserted with the groove to the left side of the gun. Only one part of the spring holds the pin. If your double action works then your spring should be fine.
