The other day I opened up my gun case and noticed that the pin (circle’d in yellow) was protruding outward a good bit on my shield x and instinctively I just pushed it back in. However, this is how far it could go before getting stuck. In the photos, it’s a little hard to see but the rod is still protruding outward just a smidge after I tried pushed the rod back in. Was wondering if this is normal or not and what to do about it? Should I send it into S&W to get checked? If so how would I do that?

For background information: this is a new gun and has only about 600 rounds shot so far. In terms of solutions and quick fixes: I’ve tried a soft rubber hammer to gently smack it into place but it didn’t move the pin.
