I am looking to replace the mainspring on my 92FS with a D spring.

Online videos I have seen show the pin holding the lanyard just pushes out when the lanyard is pressed against a hard surface. My problem is the pin that is supposed to slide looks like a roll

pin and will have to be hammered out and maybe replaced with a new one. The gun is new. Was this a change in the design?

 

Thanks

That pin should just come out with a small punch.

I am not sure what you are experiencing.

The hardest part of the job for me was the grip screws.

Let me know how you make out

Super easy.

 

I used a small screwdriver (actually an allen bit) which was same as used for the grip screws.

 

Pins slides right out when u push down on the lanyard hole with the right amount of pressure.

 

The whole thing is really a 10mn ordeal.

You do not have to hammer the pin out. Once the lanyard mount is depressed, the pin slides out easily.

 

After replacing my hammer spring, I have had no misfires due to light primer strikes . I also replaced the recoil spring with with a Wolff extra power spring and it also works perfectly with slightly less felt recoil.

That was the video I watched and I also got a Wolff 16lb spring.

 

The screws on the grip panels were easy. Mine have a slotted top (regular screw driver) not a hex head (allen wrench).

 

The Lanyard mount on my gun does not depress. I used a 2x4 as the thing to press against and the Lanyard mount sank ~1/8" into the 2x4 but the Lanyard did not move at all. I wondering if some of the 92FS's use a sliding pin and others use a pin that has to be hammered out.

 

From the responses so far it looks like 2 were the slide out kind and 1 is a hammer out.

I was wondering if the lanyard mount is hung up on an edge. I cannot believe your pistol has a different method of retaining the hammer spring. Have you made any progress?

 

PS: After reading this I started looking around and decided I want to replace the trigger spring. I ordered the part from Wolff Springs. I let you know the result.
