Hi Rob, Welcome to the forum! There is nothing wrong with your gun or it's toggle pin. It is a shortcoming in the original P08 design, which first manifested itself towards the end of WWI when stronger ammunition was introduced. It was corrected on WWI Navies by switching to large flanged rear toggle pins and on WWII Mausers by extending the frame at the back by 1mm. If you switch to less potent ammo you shouldn't have a problem. Regards, Norm
