Well, I didn’t think it would happen but my trigger pin started walking after 50rds. As I was shooting, the magazine dropped out of nowhere. I thought it was my grip, so I readjusted and kept shooting. Two rounds later, it dropped again so I checked the Dagger and saw the pin. It didn’t go for a walk, it went for a jog. Is there a fix for this that I can do myself? I’m leaving the country soon and won’t have the time to go through the process of shipping and receiving.

I had the same issue last weekend and pushed it back in. by that time is was out of time and ammo. I am going to the range tomorrow to test again.
PSA is aware as Josiah_PSA has been in contact with a few of us on this issue.

What I did was pushed it back in and put a drop of clear nail polish on both ends. Been a couple hundred rounds since with no pin walk.

Saturday at the range mine came out about 1/16 inch. sent it back for them to look at so hopefully they can remedy the issue. I really like the way it feels and fires.
I’ve had my share of pins walking back and forth over the years. In my AR’s and anything else with metal pins, I take a very sharp punch and give either end a good enough whack to put a decent dent in both ends of the pin. Ok, not using a framing hamner, just a small bench hammer, you don’t want to bend the pin! If the pin gets pulled often, you’ll have to give it another whack when it starts to migrate again but it’s a cheap, easy and fairly permanent fix. I think I’ve had the trigger pin out of my original AR a couple or 5 times and it’s still staying put.
Cheers,

Are you satisfied with that fix?
I guess. Happy cause the pin has stayed put. I was reading in some glock forum where trigger pins have walked out on a few Glocks so that made me feel a little better. Regardless I’ve had zero problems with the function of mine. ■■■■ it
I need to hurry and get to the range to test mine out. This is my only concern.
Little update: Somebody from PSA reached out to me and had a part sent to me as long as I was comfortable with swapping it out. Sure as heck better and faster than sending the whole thing in. They sent a new slide lock lever which appeared to have a more robust spring, putting more tension on the trigger pin. Geometry of the actual lever is exactly the same. I haven’t been to the range as I just installed the part last night. I’ll try to get to the range in the next few days to run it some more. Hopefully I come back with a good report as I really enjoy shooting my Dagger.
Did the new slide release with stiffer spring resolve your issue?
