Matt, It is possible to observe the holdopen spring and bar in the chamber. It is along the right side below the frame rail. You can't see a lot of it but it is possible to take a small flat head screwdriver and push down on it just behind the flat spring. You should also be able to see a small slot right at the rear of the spring...This should release the bolt to come forward. Try it out...I locked open one of my pistols and it worked fine.
