Thanks for the advice, I'll try both ways

S&W Highway Patrolman trigger seized So after I replaced the Center Pin with the new one to test its fitment, I closed the cylinder, and it closed crisply, nothing was forced. I then tried a function check of the trigger, cyl. rotation, all smooth, just like it should be. The thumb cylinder...

S&W Highway Patrolman trigger seized I am not having any luck getting the cylinder to open. I have tried a fine Jewelers flat nosed screwdriver which I used successfully before with the old, sheared, Center Pin, inserting it in- between the locking bolt and new Center Pin..it does not want to...

Highway Patrolman Centerpin broken OK, so I ordered a new center pin, since the old one had a sheared end ( on the extractor end). I had figured that the new center pin would possibly need some trimming in order for it to fit perfectly and operate as it should. I could not find the correct...

M28 seized trigger- Cylinder I'm pretty sure I've found my problem. It looks like the tip of the center pin has sheared off, just enough to foul everything up. The end of the pin ( extractor end) looks broken, and is rough. I will order a new center pin.

M28 seized trigger- Cylinder Based on what I've gathered from all of the given advice here, looking at my cylinder, the center pin is not sticking out,- in fact it's pushed in a bit on either end. I'll first try soaking it with some starting fluid.

I'm about to delve into that now:)

Thanks for all of the advice, everyone! I got busy with some other stuff , but I am now ready to jump back into it.. Goatsnguns: I don't believe so. To my knowledge, no. It's been a Safe Queen for many years, since I stopped carrying it as a duty weapon and being forced to carry semi-auto by...
