Broken detent spring?

The take down lever can be pulled out at down position, I think that's normal, that's the way to disassemble it. At down position, the lever does not fall out freely, or fall out by shaking the frame, you have to pull it or push it out by applying some force from fingers -- at least, that the way it behaves on my Lugers. If it does fall out freely, sounds like hole on the frame and the lever are not fitting very well..... is the lever numbered to the gun?
