Wow! Thanks for all the advice. I'm not big on using an adhesive or locktite for my issue. So, I tried GT's advice and used the hammer method. Turns out that little pin is hardened like a drill bit. I whacked it a couple times with no noticeable upset but it did put tiny little burrs on the pin. I put it back in the toggle using a plastic hammer. Not much resistence but enough I hope. This luger is a 1939 Mauser 42 that is in excellent condition. Future shooting I will put a small piece of tape over the pin if I notice it coming out. Thanks to all who responded.
