S&W 41 .22 guard replacement

[wonderwolf]

I have recently acquired a 41 .22 match auto pistol with a broken trigger guard. How are the cross pins on these secured? I have not messed with it yet but have a extra pin on order with the new trigger guard.

Thanks much in advance for replies.

If I remember correctly, the pin just drives out. There is a plunger and spring under the guard, so be careful not to lose that.
BTW, the new guard will be different than the guard on your other pistol, it has an optional oversize trigger guard, which are no longer available, and bring big bucks when they do show up.
If you don't have any luck getting the new one, I have a used trigger guard in good condition.

Yeah I noticed the other one has the over sized guard, we'll see what they send me. I ordered a extra cross pin because if I didn't Murphy's law would send the other pin across the room somewhere

Got the trigger guard replace today, Thanks for the help it was almost easier done than said I guess. Time to get on the lathe and turn a new guide rod....Mine didn't come with one
