Has anyone had the trigger pivot pin start to slide out?
I was cleaning my CZ 75 after an IDPA match the other day, noticed the pin sticing out about a 1/3 of it's length. I pushed it back in, but is there a preferred method for making it stay there? I have a qualifier Friday night, don't want to have to watch the pin all through the match.

The Pivot pin should remain stationary with the hole in the frame.
As an interim repair, take a small nail or punch and try to flair the pin on one side of the frame while the opposite side is supported. Repeat for other side.
The pin will eventually need to be replaced.
Measure the frame hole with the smooth end of a drill bit and go to an industrial supply hardware store and get the appropriate size roll pin. You will need one long enough to traverse the frame. You will probably have to buy one long and trim it. Replace the old roll pin, as it has seen better days.

jwc007 beat me to it. What he said.
I've noticed that my local hardware store has small roll pins that are virtually identical to the pins used in the trigger and to retain the firing pin. At about $.15 each or less, you can buy a few of various sizes and not have a big investment, if they don't work. Check there. You may have to shorten one a hair with a Dremel tool...
