Need a little asistance with a Sig 229
I would like to remove the trigger pivot pin and i can't figure out how to get it out, it has a slot on the left side like a screw driver would fit into it, i tried turning it, and without applying too much force, it didn't budge! Is it a screw, or is it a pin that get's knocked out?
On the drawings that i found, it's number 21, trigger pivot pin.
Any help would be appreciated.

It's not a screw. The trigger pin's rotational orientation must be correct in order for the pistol to be reassembled and this slot is there as an aid in accomplishing this. You'll find that on some pins it's a series of shallow lines rather than a single deep slot, but their purpose is the same.
To remove the trigger pin you have to first remove the trigger bar spring, takedown lever and the locking block. Once this is done the pin will easily push out either direction.0 -
Thank you Hangfire, that video was great, disassembly and reassembly, awesome, very helpful!
I bought a Sig 229 and it came with the OEM trigger in the box and an aftermarket trigger on the gun, looks like for a guy with big fingers or wearing gloves, i wanted to change it back to OEM, that's what i'm use to with my other Sig.
Thanks again!0 -
Glad ya liked it.. Much better than me describing the steps[8D].. I didn't watch it past the removal of the pin ( wanted to make sure it was clear ).. Be sure and note Txs' post for using the slot to" wiggle " it for re-assembly.. 0 -
when you reassemble make sure the slots (inbound) are down and the slot that looks like the screw is 3-9 position. A simple rule to follow in reassembly is that if you have to use force stop because something is wrong. You can get the block back in with the pin up side down but the hole will be about 1/8" off and you won't be able to get the take down lever in. 0 -

Be sure and note Txs' post for using the slot to" wiggle " it for re-assembly.Once the trigger pin is rotated to the correct position this can be maintained by holding it in the frame with a thumb on one side and a finger on the other while holding the trigger all the way forward against it's stop with another finger of that hand.
This 'pinching' maneuver to keep the pin from turning also correctly positions and maintains it's side to side positioning within the frame. Lateral positioning is just as critical as rotational position.
Locking block insertion is a common point of difficulty for many, but if these steps are done properly it'll fall right in with no problems at all.0
