The front sight?

Haha.. sorry meant 2" in front of the site (rear one)

it's just where the roll pin that holds the firing pin in goes.

mattjohnston87 · 01-08-2007, 10:54 PM

Yup, what he said. It's for dissasembly purposes.

It's an airhole so the gremlins that cause FTF's and FTE's can breathe.

Here is a series of photos showing slide disassembly. The second page shows the pin you are wondering about.
