Just started falling out one day. It's been jiggy ever since I reassembled it one day. Maybe I did it wrong.
What is this pin sticking out of my Tokarev slide?

Perhaps knurling it or replacing it with a double rollpin could do.
Or maybe finding a pin a wee thousandth fatter. In a pinch, the shank of an appropriate sized drill bit can be cut, ground to length, hardened and used just for that.

needless to say, do not shoot your gun until the pin is replaced.
Yup, it's a firing-pin retainer.
These are supposed to be a split pin with a funny head so that you can compress the two sides with a V-slot tool and then push it straight out. You can order the right pin, make up the tool and replace properly, or you can do what I did....... and just show in a straight shank and rivet the ends to upset the thing in position. Works for the short term, but DEFINITELY not collector-spec or milspec!
