Gdub Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 Anyone ever used one of these in their Tanfo Stock 2 or like guns? I bought one of their reduced power trigger return springs and picked this up at the same time. I can't find the post but I thought someone installed one of these in their Stock 2. The pin is quite a bit smaller than the hole but seems to stay in place during dry fire. It almost feels like it reduced my DA trigger pull a little. The pin not the spring, I already had the spring installed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kneelingatlas Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 The pin hole is half a mm bigger in Tanfos, but I'm not one to discourage innovation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gdub Posted July 20, 2015 Author Share Posted July 20, 2015 The pin hole is half a mm bigger in Tanfos, but I'm not one to discourage innovation I hope to find out what live ammo does today. It does look kind of scary though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JGus Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 I've put the CGW reduced power trigger spring and their floating trigger pin in both my Stock 2's and Stock 3's. After many live rounds and dry fire there hasn't been a single issue. There has been no issue of the pin working it's way out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gdub Posted July 21, 2015 Author Share Posted July 21, 2015 Curious... What is the benefit of that floating pin? Thanks. Easy in and out for cleaning. I do think it lowered my DA trigger pull a tiny bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

himurax13 Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 Just an FYI, The CGW Canik Floating Trigger pin is a perfect fit on my Elite Matches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaep1911 Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 Thanks Gdub. That sounds good to me. Would it work on the Elite Custom as well?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JGus Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 e-mishka, just dropped it in. No mods. Got it in two Stock 2's and two Stock 3's and haven't had a single issue in any of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeerBaron Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 Henning also makes a solid pin that fits nicely. Being the correct size it removes slop from the trigger too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JGus Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 (edited) The CGW floating trigger pin in both my Accu Shadows and my Stock 2's and 3's all move with the same amount of pressure. No more, no less. I can take my fingernail and move the pin on all three (Accu, Stock 2, Stock 3). So far no issues whatsoever. There is absolutely no wobble or fitting issues of the pin in either gun.

EngineerEli Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 What is the larger diameter of the pin? Would someone with one measure it? Tanfo's should use a 2.5mm... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waktasz Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 what does this do exactly? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrazeauRacing Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 (edited) what does this do exactly? It allows for easy removal of the trigger assembly from the frame. The trigger return spring is what keeps the pin in place rather than a tight fit with the roll pin. You can simply push the pin out with a punch or small screw driver without using a hammer once you take pressure off the return spring.

C-Money Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 Does it somehow obviate the need for a slave pin to reinstall the trigger assembled with the TRS? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JGus Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 Does it somehow obviate the need for a slave pin to reinstall the trigger assembled with the TRS? It does not. The CGW floating trigger pin really isn't necessary unless you punch the stock pin out often. The rolled steel trigger pin that comes stock works just fine but is more prone to damage when punched out. The CGW trigger pin is solid steel and easier to remove/install. More of a luxury than a necessity in my opinion. But that being said, I do like it and have it on six guns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
himurax13 Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 I guess nobody caught that I stated that the CGW floating trigger pin for the Canik fits in the Tanfoglio frame perfectly ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schmeky Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 Himurax13, That's interesting. Do all the Tan's use the same trigger pin diameter? Our Canik pin (PN: 30600) is .098" OD and the TR-PIN for the CZ is .086". Can anyone tell me if there are other sizes, and if so, what? Best method is to use a precision pin gauge(s) to measure the frames pin bore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best method is to use a precision pin gauge(s) to measure the frames pin bore. That explains it for me, thanks for the post. The Tanfo trigger pins are 2.5mm (0.098") Not sure what the CZ pin is supposed to be though... 0.086" comes out to 2.184mm. Next time I have a few bucks burning a hole in my pocket, I'll have to give one of those a try! What is the length of the pin though for the Canik? Tanfo trigger pins are 18mm long...

Not at all. I had a couple extra for CZ's so I just tried it on a whim and it's worked great. So then I put it in all of my Stock 2's and 3's. But based on what himurax13 has posted, had I known that info I would have ordered the CGW trigger pins for the Canik to put on my EAA Stocks. But as I've said, I've had no issues at all and there is no slop or movement. The CGW trigger pin for the CZ Shadow seems to be a great fit for the EAA Stocks. But let me state I'm definitely no expert on this subject. Far from it. Edited July 29, 2015 by JGus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schmeky Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 SISIG, The pins don't work they way you interpret. The center narrowed center section is occupied by the trigger return spring, keeping the pin positioned so the trigger only runs on the larger OD.
