Field maintenance requiring pin removal could be caused by:
blown primer wedged in FCG
broken spring
hammer issues
trigger/sear issues
safety issues
There are quite a few moving parts that have been known to have "issues" from time to time. Likelihood of failure? Small, but possible.
I believe that someone in the recent Redback One class had KNS pins installed and suffered a blown primer that would not shake out -- stuck under/behind the hammer or trigger. Oddball for sure. Complete disassembly of the FCG was required to remove primer, and remedy the situation. This was done at the hotel.

than one's fear. The timid presume it is lack of fear that allows the brave to act when the timid do not."
