Shove the pin into the rear with the springy thing open.

Cuss.
Jab thumb with sharp end of springy thing.
Cuss louder.
When pin is in all the way, point gun down and pull trigger.
Pivot grip spring halfway into position.
Point gun up and pull trigger again.
Snap the grip spring flush with the grip.
