24/7 slide release pin

pecka · 01-27-2007, 06:21 PM

When putting my slide back on my 24/7 I have a HARD time getting the pin back in. I get it 95% of the way in but cant get past the small spring at the bottom. I always have to push it down with something to slide the pin in. Thanks

How to disassemble (field strip) Taurus 24/7 pistols:
1) remove the magazine by pressing the magazine release button;
2) check that the chamber is empty;
3) pull the slide all the way back and lock it open with the slide lock / release lever;
4) rotate the takedown lever (located at the left side of the frame) clockwise until it stops ;
5) carefully pull the take-down lever with its pin out of the frame
6) carefully release the slide stop lever, then push the slide all the way forward and out of the frame;
7) remove the return spring by pushing its head slightly forward and then pulling it out carefully of the detent in the barrel;
8) lift up the barrel from the slide

Reassemble in reverse order.

Thanks Chris but I have no problems getting everything off. Its only when I put the slide back on and try to get the pin back in. The pin will go 98% of the way in and gets stoped by a small straight spring on the bottom. I always have to get something to push it down before I can get the pin all the way in. If there is no other way to get past the spring then it is a HORRIBLE design.

Soon the trigger will break or break-in ? Jeeeez, do we chalk this up to bugs in the new design or what. I was seriously considering one of the 24/7 in .45 acp but these with other problems I have heard of I think maybe I will wait for a while for the bugs to be worked out.

Jaymo. I read one of bheiser's other post about his 24/7 and he stated that the trigger broke after 5000 rounds. Thats not too bad in my mind. Don't get me wrong, I know there are better guns out there.
