I also forgot to post since it was hard to reassemble the pin during reassembly that I did a slight grind & polish off about 1/16 inch a small spot on the corner of the slide to frame take down pin and it's much easier to install when putting the gun back together, just line up that one spot with the retaining spring. It does seem hard at times to pop out of the gun though and there's nothing you can or want to do to this because it can pop out of the gun while shooting. Just have to use a small flathead screwdriver and force it to pop out and most guns have a lever to flip between a high & low spot so you don't have to do this.
