I see. I will have to examine the pistol tonight to see why the hold open isn't actuating. What is the proper method for closing the action if the hold open is working? Remove the empty magazine, then pull the toggles slightly? (I'm working only from a knowledge of how modern semi-automatic pistols function). I assume there is no equivalent to a slide stop lever?
Do you guys have any tips for cleaning the pistol? Is there anything I should avoid doing to preserve it's value? I'd love to get it cleaned up as much as possible, but I don't want to reduce it's worth.
Thanks again for all the great information!
