Help extracting 440 trigger set screw

So you got the pink trigger pistol? Yea, needs to be fixed ASAP.

If you can remove it from the frame is there any access to it from the back?
I've dealt with those tiny ones and as soon as it gets rough I put a new one in.....

access yes.It is almost flush on both sides however. I think I'm going to try a drillbit and just pray

LOL... no I didn't get the pink one. Even she wouldn't be that ridiculous. I just pulled the photo off of Galloway website

I get to hear about this thing at about 11 PM every evening. Yup... women...

If you try to drill it. go counterclockwise with the drill and cant the drill just a little bit so a flute may catch part of the allen square and back it out.

Thanks guys... heading to Howard's hardware for a proper drlll bit...

Since it is an allen it has a nice centered starter hole, but the metal is hard. I would price a new one. Next I would consider drilling out using a few new bits. You may get lucky and the bit catch and spin it out or through. It looks like you have plenty of material to go up to the next size set screw with a drill and retap.

Or a left handed drill bit

Tried that just now... going to see if a RH 5/64 cobalt will
Work... hey thanks!

Went back for the left-handed one 16th and snapped it off!

Maybe the manufacturer would hook you up somehow.
Might not hurt to ask.
