file a bevel on takedown pin

[Mark K. C.]

will fileing a slight bevel on the takedown pin on a Taurus TCP 380 have any effect to the integrity of the pistol? Once removed there is a retaining spring in the hole that is a bear to get the pin past. I'm thinking a small edge on the pin, just enough to get past the spring, will be the ticket to this problem.

Should not be a problem.

If you are talking about the very end that goes out the other side?

I agree.
Just don't bevel it enough you lose frame support on that side.

Don't bevel the notch the spring rides in to keep in in the gun however.
