TheButler Posted April 20, 2019 Share Posted April 20, 2019 I have a cajunized SP-01 Tactical that I absolutely love. For some reason, the pin (#9 on the schematic) connecting the hammer (#16) to the disconnecter (#17) likes to walk out of the hole. The pin then hits the frame of the gun and prevents the hammer from moving backwards and I have to completely disassemble the gun to slide the pin (with my fingers) back into the hole. Has anyone had this issue and if so, how did you fix it? Aside from ordering a new pin I can't figure out how to prevent the problem. The problem can be cause by tilting the gun on its left side (oriented pointing away from you) and tapping it or just storing it for extended periods (the pin can only come out on the left side when the gun is assembled). On the bright side, I've gotten pretty good at disassembling and reassembling the gun. Also, I am not certain which sub-forum this belongs in because the gun has been modified so please move it if I am in the wrong place. Thank you for all the input and advice.

race1911 Posted April 20, 2019 Share Posted April 20, 2019 (edited) Yes, when the pin is in proper position and the hammer is sitting on a solid surface stake both sides of the pin by hitting with a starter punch Edited April 20, 2019 by race1911 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhiteDingo Posted April 20, 2019 Share Posted April 20, 2019 If it's Cajunized, did you install the new hammer pins that Cajun has? They're designed to work with their hammer. If you can push the pin back in by hand, it's not tight enough in the hole. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tok36 Posted April 21, 2019 Share Posted April 21, 2019 (edited) While generally the CGW hammer and hammer pins are pressure fit to the CGW hammers, i have seen a few that were a little less tight. To my knowledge the standard fix for this issue is to locktight the pin into place. I do not have any issue with the staking option suggested, especially if it is unlikely that they will ever be removed.

All the work was done by cajun gunworks. are those pins peened in place? Or is that from having to punch it out of the hole? EDIT: I see now that race1911 said they needed to be peened Edited April 21, 2019 by TheButler correction Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheButler Posted April 21, 2019 Author Share Posted April 21, 2019 Thanks everyone for the responses. Would you advise staking or using some loctite to hold it in? I realize staking is probably a more permanent fix but loctite seems to be like a better fix for avoiding problems like bending the pin. Unless I am overthinking it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
