If this is the case, it might be worth it to see if you can find a generic c-clip that fits snugly, rather than ordering an entire new recoil assembly.
It is a C-clip missing from the end of the guide rod. A replacement should't cost much. On the other hand, it may be time for a new assembly anyway. The purpose of the clip is to contain the spring for disassembly and really has no function during operation. I can think of no reason why your USPc won't function fine even without the clip.
