P 07 Hammer pin walks out?
« on: November 15, 2019, 10:04:14 AM »
I did a search but couldn't find an answer.

Has anyone had issues with the hammer pin walking out on a P 07? I have a complete Kadet (I'm in Europe) and the Hammer pin moves out to the left side of the pistol after a couple of magazines. It will never come completely out, but if I put pressure on it with a punch it'll audibly click back into place? Do I need a new pin to fix this?

I staked my hammer pin on my P01 when I upgraded to the competition hammer.  If you have a picture of the exact pin to make sure we're talking about the same thing it would be good to confirm.

If I'm not mistaken (it's been a while since I've had one of my P-series guns apart), there is a small hook on the hammer that pivots down and engages a slot on the hammer pin to keep it in position.
Have you had the gun apart?

I personally have not taken it apart, but I bought it second hand. Do you think it's been put together incorrectly?

It's a possibility.  Joe Mustang has some really good disassembly videos here on the P-series guns.  That pin should not be walking out and I can't think of another thread on the subject with the P-07 or P-09.  That's not to say that no one else has experienced this, but I can't think of any off hand.
If you're fairly mechanically inclined, you can tackle this.

Thanks Winkel, I'll have a look a the guides and try to build up the nerve to take it all apart lol

If you were near southern Indiana, I'd do it for you!

Watch the part of Joe's video where he is reassembling his P-09, and he brings the disconnector (hook-shaped part which is on the side of the hammer) down over the back end of the trigger bar.  This can only be done correctly if the hammer pin is in the right position, and that disconnector fits into a notch on the hammer pin as it goes into place, which will prevent the hammer pin from having any lateral movement.
