I had the same pin issue, and did the same thing.

Joe,
are you saying that you resolved the pin problem with Loc-Tite? How much did you use, and where exactly did you put it? How many rds did you fire afterwards without having it come out again?
Thanks.

just a tiny drop on the exposed part (that's where I figure it comes into contact with frame when properly 'in place' and then mallet and pin used to hammer it back in. Didn't come out again.
don't HESITATE to send it back to taurus. I had a great experience with their customer service. I took out the mag release button to get a stronger spring in there (was a little weak when I got it, mags would come out if I fired all ten rounds T coultn'get the darned thing back in. I went berzerk. It has to be THE DUMBEST mag release installation design whatever you call it EVER. advice: do NOT take out the mag release! :-)
Sent it back with this note: I screwed up. can you fix this and charge me whatever the cost is as this is nto a manufacturing defect but customer defect! Also I know you said 'don't send sights with pistol', but can you isntall the trijicons I'm sending please and also send me a bill?
I got it back two-three weeks later, new mag release installed, trijicons installed, no bill. Couldn't have been happier.
ETA: I wouldn't worry about 'non-matching parts', also if there is a manufacturing defect, does Taurus offer to apy shipping? I never even inquired cause I wouldn't let them pay for shipping if they wanted to. I screwed up my gun not them!
ETA2: there shoujld NEVER EVER be an FTF with this gun using FMJ's. if ther eis, send it back. I used almost exclusively silvertip 185 gr 45, and didn't have a single hiccup, FMJ's should glide right into th echamber.
