johnbu Posted June 23, 2018 Share Posted June 23, 2018 Ok, couple years back i switched all my guns over to this "luxury" item. They are GREAT. They make removing and inserting the trigger vastly easier. Sadly, while investigating a funky feel in my trigger, i found it broken! Ouch! Not even sure how enough force was applied to break it. But dad always said i could break an anvil with a feather... (It's my special skill. Lol) Anyway, i was thinking just buy another one when a friend said CGW stands behind their stuff and to contact them. So, i sent them a picture and short email. They responded within 10 minutes with an apology about it breaking and that a new one was on the way. Wow, now that's customer service! Just letting people know!

Trinimon Posted June 23, 2018 Share Posted June 23, 2018 Better to find out that it's broken now than during a match. Good on CGW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just line up the hole in the trigger with the frame and stick a punch in one side & then drive the trigger pin in from the other side. I do not know why anyone would find that to be difficult, but the floating pin is only $12 or so and I do not want to start a debate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dazhi Posted June 25, 2018 Share Posted June 25, 2018 (edited) You don't need a punch + hammer to put on the floating pin. Just fingers. To take it off, however, you do need something sharp to push it out. Still you don't need a hammer. For clean freaks who like to detail clean every 1000 rounds, the floating pin is a big plus.

Glenzo Posted June 25, 2018 Share Posted June 25, 2018 I need a couple of those floating trigger pins. The Tanfo roll pin is a pain to get in and out. Is this the same or similar to the Canik trigger pin that some people use? I'll have to see if Cajun ships to canada but I doubt it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trinimon Posted June 25, 2018 Share Posted June 25, 2018 Cajun doesn't ship to Canada. CGW used to but I thought I read somewhere that they stopped. I ordered the Canik version from Patriot Defence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoKimberDave Posted June 26, 2018 Share Posted June 26, 2018 I broke one of the early ones. Same great customer service had a new one in my hands in a few days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Avenida Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 I don't remove the trigger often but I cut a slave pin out of a QTIP to hold everything in place while I drive the roll pin in. Will give these pins a try though . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trinimon Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 I use the unfluted ends of old broken drill bits to make slave pins. I've use q-tip stems before too. Dunno how I managed without slave pins in the past 'cept for a whole bunch of cuss'n. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you ever make a slave pin that has too large of a diameter to go through the frame but not too large go through the trigger, you will cuss once again. I know this.

Almo Posted July 4, 2018 Share Posted July 4, 2018 I use the CGW trigger pin in my Shadow 2 and it reduced the trigger pull by 1/4#; I wasn't expecting that. I was going to try one in my Stock 2. Does the Stock 2 use the trigger pin for the CZ or the Canik? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George16 Posted July 4, 2018 Share Posted July 4, 2018 The stock 2 and canik uses a slightly bigger diameter trigger pin compared to the shadow 2. CGW accidentally sent me. canik trigger pin when I ordered mine and I was surprised when it wasn’t going in until I read the tag on the plastic bag it came with and it says, “Canik trigger pin”. for slave pin, get a broken drill bit measuring .086” or use the hammer retaining pin. It’s the same size. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
01Deuce Posted July 5, 2018 Share Posted July 5, 2018 That explains why the three I bought dont fit as tight as I thought they should. I went and looked and mine are the version for the CZ's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Almo Posted July 8, 2018 Share Posted July 8, 2018 Thanks for the reply. I'll be sure to order the Canik version for my Stock 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know this. I definitely had that problem for a good 15-25 minutes. Then I figured it out and just used needle nose pliers to position the spring, and pushed through the pin in 2 tries.

Trinimon Posted July 16, 2018 Share Posted July 16, 2018 I finally got around to installing the Canik trigger pin yesterday. Are there two sizes because I looked at the PD website and the CGW part number says for CZ75 and the pin I have has a 2.46mm diameter. Is this the correct pin for the Tanfoglio/EAA? Seems to fit and work ok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trinimon Posted July 16, 2018 Share Posted July 16, 2018 (edited) Ahh ok. I guess I got the correct one for my Tanfoglio. Whew. Thanks! Now I got to find a source for a CGW pin for the Shadow 2 that will ship to Canada. Edited July 16, 2018 by Trinimon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
