Glock trigger pin-troubles

[riceman]

I am changing some triggers on my glocks. I got the trigger pin out of one. But have been having trouble getting another one out, I have been jiggling the slide lock lever back and forth like I did for the first one and my finger is starting to get sore, and the wife is getting tired of my cussing. I did see a video of a guy taking a punch and hammering it out, not sure I want to do that but am getting temped.

You didn’t say the model or generation but even if it’s not one of the models mentioned in the video, maybe give this a try.

Thanks that gives me additional information.
Before I saw you post I found the following on face book also and thought I would share. I was horsing the slide lock to much. Thanks again.

Nah, you can bend the wire on the slide release out of alignment like that. I’ve done it before and needed to bend it back.

Glock plastic pin punch, rubber mallet, puck or similar hold the frame and let the pin drop after some oil or break free. If your pins are stuck might need to up the cleaning intervals.
