I was planning on keeping mine as "street" as possible. Never cleaning it, never taking it apart. Just beating the shit of out of it. The sights were the first thing to fail. Color points, dots (?) just fell out, they moved around a lot, too. Still, pull trigger, go bang, no matter what was in it.

I looked at some disassembly pages on-line and, yeah, that damn pin seems to be an issue.

It really is a great bathroom gun. No kidding, you get that monster in someones face, they will back up.

You chose what happens after.
