I have a 40/42 black widow model and used to have the same problem. Because I wanted to be able to fire it and it be reliable, I took out the pin and made a new pin. My pin is peened over on one end and fits from the take down lever side of the hole and into the side plate body to pivot the trigger lever. This way it will not come out (when the take down lever is in its normal position), it is hardly noticed from the outside (I blued the 3/32 pin) and the gun is not modified. The pin comes out with no tools needed and has not given me any problems any time at the range.
