I'll be going beyond basic field strip with a 1911 for the first time this weekend and will be driving out some pins (waiting on a set of punches from Brownells).

Two Questions:
Are the pins tapered ? I'd think they should be but I don't know.

What is the best way to put them back in: I am guessing use a small desktop vise, at least to start them.
