I'll give a larger pin a try, but I'm more worried about finding a correct replacement for the grip safety body for my other, better shape '06 AE. Posted in the WTB section of both forums, and burned thru every seller, auction, or parts source I could dredge up from my bookmarks or google, but alas no luck today. What will be, will be, so I'm mustering up the resolve to be patient on this one.
My last question, at this point, is just what sort of price should I view as reasonable for an '06 style grip safety?
(Good thing I acquired this pistol by bidding as if I did NOT have X-ray vision. I suppose now that the heavy hitters on site at the auction found these issues during preview examinations; this might explain how I got it for $700 under low estimate. Bottom line is that she'll be pretty nice when I get her fixed up and I know I'm gonna be swimming in happiness and satisfaction!)
