the “click” is what you needed. I’d be the pin will never walk again as long as you had heard that click when you pushed it in. this is a known issue that unfortunatley sometimes during assembly they dont push it hard enough to hear it click before they move on building. thus when shooting it walks. if you did push it to click, then it wont walk… good job and thanks for the reports.

Here are some pics after the first rang trips, 50 rounds Turkish NATO spec, 100 rounds steel
looks good. starting to get sexy with the wear markings… nothing better than a little petina saying i use this… and it is good!
There was no trigger pin walk at this point but by the end of range day two, and an additional 125 rounds there was, will add pics later
have you pushed the pin in hard and heard a “Click” cause if you havent thats why it walked… most likely it just wasnt put all the way in the first place.
I have more loved pistols that have less patina, but the reset is super short and crisp but still does not reset with dry fire. You might like this wear mark

It is going back to PSA for them to look at the reset so I am going to leave it as is, and I am going to see how much they want it cleaned, if at all and I saved examples of shell casings if they want those also.
Curious about the barrel - does it have the DLC?
Barrel and slide are DLC

Thought I’d add a couple of pictures to the thread.
My newly-purchased frame with an Advantage Arms .22LR conversion. Runs great, and more fun than it should be:
And my frame with it’s “forever slide,” from HGW. I like the Gen5-look.

The great thing is that you invested about $275 or so (round numbers here). If you had zero ammo in the pantry, you’d pay for your kit after the savings of shooting about 1800 rounds of .22. Figuring that .22 is half the cost of 9 right now, most of us could do that in a good weekend at a friend’s backyard range.
I really want to get one of these so I can get my youngest boy shooting pistol (10YO). He loves shooting my MP-15 22, my old Marlin .22 semi and “his” old Marlin single shot .22 but hasn’t really taken a liking to the .22 revolver I got him. He was a bit intimidated by shooting 9mm pistols.
But are you really done? Really?

Said that on my 3rd, 4th, 5th and more AR build.
Nice looking triplets though.
