Any way to disable locking switch on Reo mini?

[bydus]

Just wondering if there is any way I can block it from spinning, to be honest its a nice feature but I never put it in lock mode as the button is small and atty ensures there is space between the switch and pocket. Can it be blocked (removed) in any way?

best to ask rob that who makes them.

Put it in the lock position, then give it a tap with a hammer. That should shear it off. Fixed.

u serious? It won't damage my reo or the button?

If youre handy, you can disassemble the inside of the Reos pretty easily. Push the button in until you can grab the firing spring and bend the spriing GENTLY down, the button will fall into the Reo. Pick up the button and witha pair of pliers gently squeeze the pin into the button- then reassemble. I've done it on 2 out of the 3 grands I have owned.

I removed the safety from my mini like this basically except I extracted the pin instead of pushing it inside the switch. I tried pushing it inside first but it wasn't flush enough to prevent the locking. I like the idea behind the lock but my button tends to rotate a bit during use enough to where it would get hung up on the lock sometimes unintentionally which bugged me enough to disable it.

don't hit your REO with a hammer You can push that little pin on the side of the button into the button without too much fuss without removing the button. I just did it using the tip of a letter opener...but you could also use a very small flat head screwdriver.

Yeah. You might damage your hammer.

Yeah, that doesn't always work. On my first mini I could do that but on the second, the pin wouldn't push in far enough. I haven't gone so far as to disassemble it yet to remove it. It seems to hang up less nowdays anyway.

Just want to add, you can do that without removing the button.

Another thing is a button cover makes it so much easier to lock and unlock the button, you may not want to remove the pin if you use one.

+1 on the button cover. I'm using it on both my Reo's. One of them has the same habit of rotating itself into lock. Also makes it easy to lock/unlock with your button firing finger/thumb.
