Hi:

The hold open device was designed to take abuse. Look at the thickness of the steel throughout.

Some of you newer members may not know that the hold open device was originally turned down for military use. The reason given was that they wanted to reduce the number of parts and complexity of the pistol. Good idea, they should have adopted the Makarov for simplicity instead. Ha!!

The little spring is usually the ultimate problem with hold open function. I'm having a problem with my 1916 LP-08 right now with it.
