I hadn't thought about this until someone pointed out that the hinge pin on my W&S 700 was not replaceable.


I think the larger the pin the less likely the gun is to shoot loose....I also think the gun makers knew this and could be one reason some went to the larger hinge pin and stopped making the replaceable ones.
