they are floating pins, they will fall back into the reciever when the gun is open.
i would love to say that i have enough confidence to pull the pins out and throw them in a drill chuck. I am a very mechanically incined person, yet i have not attempted to take this gun apart myself any further than removing the trigger guard to adjust a screw that that was put in too far by the smith.
if it is something i can get done for $25 bucks or so, maybe ill just take it in. seems like this is an easier fix that the timing, which to my understanding involves bending the hammers a little, or something like that.
