Default Model 61 Escort info

I just picked up a Model 61 Escort. It is in pretty good shape. I have a question, though. At the top rear of the left grip is a pin which protrudes from the grip. It also slides out (but does not fall out because of a retaining ring molded into it). What is the purpose of the pin and should it be loose like that? Should it be protruding? Thanks.

It tells you if the gun is cocked or not.

That's not "idiocy", but ignorance, which is defined as a lack of knowledge.

We are ALL ignorant on many subjects. Never regret, or apologize for reducing, your ignorance. When you cease learning, your ignorance stops decreasing.
