I don't believe so, Bill.  There should be a ramp on the switch mechanism
that is supposed to depress the pin as you push the cylinder into place.  It
does take a fair amount of force.

Dusting the pin with graphite powder and working it up and down a few times
seems to help.  Beyond that, it just takes a very firm push.
