There is a pin located on the upper part of the slide right above the decocking lever. On my 228 it worked itself loose. It's not all the way out just on one side. How do I get that pin seated properly again?

That should be a double rollpin. Are both pieces still there?

By double you mean one inside the other? If that's the case both are still there.

OK, good. Well, as far as I know, you just drive it back in. However, you should be replacing it every 5,000 rounds anyways, so maybe the gun is telling you something.

^^^ Yeah, they're not supposed to "work themselves out". They were either improperly installed initially, or they're worn out (or broken).

If one wants to move roll pins one should only use roll pin punches and roll pin starters. Using standard solid punches will result in damaging the roll pins.

It is a certified refurbished red box bought from 220ST so maybe having someone else smarter than me look at it is in order. Thanks.

If it were me, I would just put in fresh roll pins and start the countdown from there.

I'd honestly consider dropping a parts kit in the pistol. Replace the pins and the high wear springs. Cheap insurance. But, I'd defer to the group, you have some real P228 experts here.

^Yes, even better idea. Replace everything with new and start the round count from scratch.
