muncie21 Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 (edited) Recently when cleaning TSO .40 I've noticed that the extractor pin seems to be 'walking' a bit, causing it to drop down into the slide channel. I noticed this when trying to remove the slide and feeling a bit of tension/resistance while trying to pull the slide off the frame. Below is a picture of my 40 (top pic) that has several thousands of rounds through it, compared to my TSO 9 (bottom) which only has a few hundred rounds through it. It appears the pin was staked from the factory. Anyone else notice this with either a TS or TSO (I believe both frames are similar/same)?

rowdyb Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 (edited) I restake my pin each time I remove the extractor to clean it Edited September 20, 2017 by rowdyb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lior Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 This happens in my CzechMate too (thinner slide, I know, but same phenomenon). Echoing rowdyb's experience, I just nudge it back into place each time I field strip the gun for cleaning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just4FunLP Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 I just got a new Shadow 2 and went to clean the extractor and notice the pin is staked. I really had to pound it out, and then back in again... It was a major pain. I ran my Shadow 1 for a couple of years and can't remember it ever being difficult to get in and out. I've been pushing out with a punch and removing crud about every 500-1000 rounds. It pushes in and out with ease. Although, I did notice it backing out one time. I simply pushed it back in again and it's never been a problem. I really like the idea of cleaning my extractor frequently (I shoot a lot of rounds). How many times can you stake this thing? Is it really necessary? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
my00wrx1 Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 Buy a new pin if you don't want to stake it and it keeps coming out. A new one should be a slightly tighter fit and should fix the problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

my00wrx1 Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 New pin and/or extractor spring will fix it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IF788 Posted September 25, 2020 Share Posted September 25, 2020 not sure if this matters, but if you notice your pictures looks like you installed the pin upside down since its silver, and not flat / black where it was staked. perhaps the shape of the ends will help it hold? Im not 100% on this, I generally put it back in the way it came out and use a round end punch kit and give it a few hard knocks (restake it a lil). should fit it. If not or this bothers you, im sure they are a few bucks for spares from CZ webstore, Cajun, etc. And I agree, I had a shadow 2 once where the damn thing wouldn't come out if Hulk himself smashed it. was infuriating. id rather have a loose one I can work with than once that I can't even get to...

muncie21 Posted September 27, 2020 Author Share Posted September 27, 2020 The reason the pin is shiny is because it dropped down far enough to rub slightly when as the slide moved back/forth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
