Panther XL Trigger fix
When your trigger button falls back into the housing and no longer works.

  It's kinda hard to see in the photo on the left, so I enhanced the parts in the photo on the right.
The brace is a piece of 1/8" thick epoxy board that I use at my business to build hand wired tube amp circuit boards.  It has been angled so it does not get in the way of the hat switch circuit board. It has also been notched out in a half circle so it wraps around the rear screw support.
  The brace is epoxied in 3 places, at the two front switch supports and the rear screw support. The handle housing has been reinforced with epoxy also because the switch supports cracked and would not hold the switch upright.
The epoxy I used is the stuff that looks like a giant hypodermic with a double barrel.You can buy it at any hardware store. This stuff sets up in 15 minutes and stays more flexible than JB weld.
