shadow trigger pin removal

[jon1985]

I am stripping and cleaning my CZ Shadow and cant seem to get the trigger pin out. I have been able to push all the pins out so far, but this one wont move, even with gentle tapping. A

Any tips?

It's staked, and you need proper size roll pin punch.

Look closely, you will notice one end is bigger, perfectly flat with a shallow and perfectly centered hole/dot. The other end is not perfectly flat, it looks more like a flared roll pin.

You must punch out the pin from the flared end with a proper size roll pin punch. The flared end goes in first (assembly) and goes out last (disassembly).

Not recommended to re-use the trigger pin so make sure you have a spare/replacement one. Once fitted, the new trigger pin must be flared for retention otherwise it will constantly creep out. A flaring punch will be needed. If not properly tooled/set up, it can be a real beetch to flare correctly and you will likely smack your frame a few times. Unless there is a need to replace the trigger or trigger spring, I would leave it alone.

Not a gunsmith, just my experience. Hoping this helps.

i left it be and just flooded it with cleaner. First time stripping the gun fully. I bought the stainless guide rod and buffer so stripped and cleaned the pistol, then installed the new guide rod and buffer.

If you remove the trigger pin you need a slave pin to put it back together easily. Normally the pin is removed from right to left. As in, they normally flare the left side of the pin. If you do remove it, it's not a big deal to reuse the pin, just make sure you seat it fully when putting it back in. They can be quite tight though and a good starter punch is a good idea to break them free. If you aren't going to be using it in IPSC I'd recommend the Cajun Gun Works trigger pin. It's held in place by the trigger spring.

I am hoping to do some IDPA and IPSC shooting with it so have to keep it original.
