Stuck toggle pin

No it is not dangerous as long as the toggle moves freely... cycling the action would not very likely break this pin... I encourage you to use the methods described and remove the pin for cleaning...

Hi, if you go to a home depot and get some penetrating oil, keep the pin and slide back hevelly oiled for a day.
Or even stick it with a cuip of oil so the pin is covered.

Let it drip out after a day of standing in the oil.

Go to the range and fire a shot or two, it will give a pin some lubrication. after that a small tap on the side and it will comeout.
