New to this forum - hi! Bought my first C9, and field-stripped/cleaned it today before shooting for the first time. Everything went back together fine, until I got to re-inserting the slide retainer pin. Nothing I could do would make it go back in - I could get it into the slide hole, but...

I just bought a 9mm C9 pistol and noticed that the slide holder pin is not there. I am trying to contact the hi-point service but I can only find a web form to send back with the gun. I am trying to see if they can send me the pin instead. Anyone know how to do this? Thanks
