So I sat down to fully disassemble my TCP for a detail cleaning.
Can't even get the frame removed.. I know the front pin by the trigger is suppose to hold the frame in place.. IT WILL NOT BUDGE.
I found a post over here: https://www.taurusarmed.net/forums/smithing/82243-reversing-magazine-release-tcp-pt738.html
saying it comes out easy.. well mine does not.
I've pounded on it HARD and it will not move.
My specimen was made in 2017.. so obviously they've done something.. maybe they don't want people taking them apart.. I don't know.
But something is going on.. anyone taken down a newer production 738?
I don't know how they've managed to keep the pin so secure but Im so frustrated at this point im having thoughts of melting the grip down just to get a look at what non sense taurus has done... or maybe drill the thing out.. seriously im ready to destroy this gun.
I tried driving out the sear pin.. 1 little tap and it got a healthy start.. so that pin is ok.. but obviously something has changed in production for the front frame pin.
Idea's?
