Hammer Pivot Pin - How do I stop it from comming out?

I was finally able to take my former jam-o-matic 22/45 MKIII out to the range today to put a brick through it. I got to about ~400 rounds and then the hammer stopped falling forward. I had already had enough shooting for the day so I packed up and came home. Upon inspection it looks as though the ha...
