My suggestion is to just look for a pin that will fit that hole. Like a thumb tac or something similar. I use a nail from my local hardware store and just cut it length as a replacement. Works great....

You need that spring to apply pressure to the slide lock to actually prevent the slide from shooting off your gun. So I don't think you have no other option than to source a replacement....
I found a 5/64 inch drillbit which I have permission to cut off, it fits almost perfectly but it has room to move kind of freely you know? Should it be a snug fit, like stay still? Because I can order a 6/64 inch rod from mcmaster & carr for like 3 bucks and cut it down if it needs to be snug.
