so, out of sheer boredom, i decided that i might as well start replacing the plastic parts on my 92FS with the metal parts from the CDNN parts kit i ordered. i started with the most simple thing - the lanyard loop/mainspring cap. i put in the metal cap and tried pushing the roll pin into it. it didn't go. i took it out and tried sliding the roll pin into it. it would seem that the roll pin in the gun is the wrong size. no problem! i've got a numrich roll pin kit here. oops, none of those work either  what's the deal? do i need to go buy a separate roll pin or drill out my cap? i'm almost afraid to try and replace anything else, but i'm probably going to give the trigger a try next. i'll report back. |

ok, the trigger went in just fine. but i still don't get why the older cap takes a different size pin. can someone explain to me what is supposed to be plastic on the "plastic triggers" it's supposed to have a steel skeleton supporting plastic on the outside, right? my trigger felt to me like it was solid steel. comparing it to the replacement trigger, i really couldn't see a difference. this is a newer gun, so i'm assuming it's supposed to have a plastic trigger on it from the factory? |

Use the hammer spring cap pin that came with the CDNN parts kit. It's not a roll pin, but a solid pin that's a little thicker at the ends. It hold under the tension that the hammer spring provides pushing down on the cap. You don't need a punch to install/remove, just pressure on the cap to release. Much easier! |
 Chris, i bought the parts kit so i would have spares on hand. initially, i had no plans of switching out any parts as i thought the plastic parts worked just fine. changing out a few parts just seemed like it would be a fun project. i'll be saving all the parts in case i ever have something fail. |
