I've noticed my 2.0 frame pin, which is the pin in front of the takedown lever, walking a bit to the left side. My guess is that I have around 2000-3500 rounds on the gun, which is very early 2020 pre-panic model. My shooting frequency and volume has bumped up a bit in the last six months or so, so I've noticed it walking twice in the last month and half, with about 800 rounds shot in the last month, due to a class.
Should I just replace with the factory version? https://www.midwestgunworks.com/prod...t_Code=3002535
Or are there better options? I see that the 2.0s don't use roll pins like the 1.0s did.
When I first got the gun I did remove the detent affair on the left side slide/stop slide release so that I could more easily use the slide stop as a slide release. I don't think that would have any impact on the retention of the frame pin, as the slide stop mechanism is further back in the frame. I've also just noticed the frame pin walking twice since June, so I think this is just a straight wear issue.
Edited to add: I do see that Ed Brown makes aftermarket pins: https://www.edbrown.com/product/mach...in-kit-for-mp/
