Pistol Takedown

How do I reinstall the takedown pin on a Ruger LCP?

I recently bought a Ruger LCP (which is a fine pistol I might add), and the time came to clean it. Now, after having reassembled nearly all of the components, I can’t figure out how to reinstall the takedown pin. I know there is a trick with finding the right angle, but after 15 minutes of trying, I’m still lost. Any suggestions?

If you look at the hole where the take down pin goes back into the slide, you should see a little silver wire near the bottom edge (closest to the frame of the gun.) Use the tip of the pin to push that wire down into the frame…once you’ve moved it out of the way, you should be able to push the pin right in and your pistol will be correctly assembled.
