Team needs help ...
We were trying to find a website, or somewhere, where we could purchase extra takedown pins for the Surefire lights attached to our M9 pistols.
As some of you might know, we are in the middle of SFAUCC and we are trying to plus up some repair parts. What we are looking for is the "takedown pin" that is put on the lower receiver of the M9 in order to fit the taclight. It looks like a round metal slug that sticks out of the right side (as you fire) of the pistol, on the lower receiver. You then mount the light body on this. Anyone have any idea where I can purchase more (websites, businesses)? Thanks in advanced.
PS - We searched the Surefire website and the Beretta website already. Thanks.

Just a thought.......why not find one of those folks that is gifted in the skills of machining and start making your own?? Save you money and time. The armorer only needs to provide a sample and let them know what type of material it is........bulk orders will save you money as well.

Thank you all ... Angel Six, TR, Ambush Master.
I'll have my 18E take a digital photo of it tomorow and I'll post it the day after tommorow (we are assaulting a building all night tomorrow and won't be back in 'til late). Thanks again.
PS - Ambush Master ... If you are in the area, perhaps I can hand you one, as an example. I'll have to look to see if we have an extra one that we can pull for a short while.

I have the Surefire Mil/LE rep working on this. He is supposed to have their Customer Service Department contact me ASAP.
Will see him next Friday night for dinner, but hope to have it resolved before then.
When I get the contact info, B, I will hook you up.

You've got mail at your soc.mil account.
That is what this board is for, and I hope that anyone else in SF needing parts finds this of value. It occurs to me that the entire kit could be useful to every ODA training up or deploying.
Good luck.
TR
"T,
The takedown lever you need is available in a loose parts kit. The part number for the kit is 11411-21. Retail price is set at $42.48. There is a structured military discount for quantities purchased....We do not have an NSN number for this parts kit. Any contacct information would be appreciated for the team that is in need of the parts. We will take care of their needs as quickly as we can.
Best regards,
George Syrengelas

Thanks a million
Thanks, TR. I sent a real short reply from my "soc.mil" account. We had just gotten back from a couple of nightime assaults and were in the middle of cleaning weapons.
I think that the best reason for having a forum such as this is so that operators can help other operators. This is one of those instances. It is close to 0100 hrs, I smell of CLP and gun powder, I'm eating a cold dinner and this just made my day. Thanks again. 
PS - I forwarded the info you gave us to our supply NCO and, when some time is available, I will make contact with the gentleman from Surefire.

Basenshukai,
I'm a Tooling Engineer and I think I can get those pins made for you guys.
I'd need a sample, or a drawing but we can make just about anything.
Would be glad to help.
