I have these small white hard plastic blocks. I have several places where I drilled into the block- not all the way through. I use those instead of my hand.

It's OK. The pin is still good. Try not to get blood on your clothes.  But he will have to wipe the blood off with spit to get it to feed correctly. |

That pin is a dick. I take it out by standing a disposable chopstick on my coffee table, placing the gun over it with the chopstick pushed into the pin, and then shoving the gun down with body weight. Ever heard of a punch and a plastic mallet and a few light taps? |

+1 for a bench block
The pin really shouldn't need that much force, odds are it was not ready to come out, something had it under tension, if not it would have at least moved earlier in the process. Other than the ejector and spring tube pretty much everything on the 1911 comes out smoothly if done right, you just have to take the tension off first. |

Holy buckets of what the fuck???
OOOWWWW!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That sucks!!! Hope ya heal quick! You used a Hammer didn't ya? 
Next question. What the hell was goin' through your head posting this? Some shit ya just gotta NOT post on GD. Damn! Just a hint, in the future use a piece of scrap wood, or a lead block to support the frame on a non marring bench surface, then use a light weight bench hammer(Brownells) to strike a quck and sharp blow to the punch held tightly against the pin, so it wont mar....and ya don't get blood on the carpet.;) |

OP... lower the hammer before trying to remove that pin... it makes it a lot easier and a LOT less painful.
Here's to a speedy recovery.

Don't worry I got the pin back...
And no i havn't finished cleaning it I cant finish or even put it back together with one hand . At least it wasn't my shooting hand.
And i have been LOLing at the responses. Thanks GD delivers pain relief! ETA there was only my hand and a punch involved, No hammer. I'm not a complete idiot despite all evidence to the contrary.

Ever heard of a punch and a plastic mallet and a few light taps? Good advice there. Small punch and a leather mallet is what I use. Place the gun on a soft towel, tap the convex part of the pin lightly and then pull it out the other side. Very easy.

Same thing happened to me with an AR15 front sight block roll pin. My hand was not in contact with the pin, I smacked the punch and flew out embedding it in my palm. I was burried so deep that I had to go to the orthopedic surgeon to have it removed.
