That sounds a little bit unbelievable. You have a gun in hand, and wondered how it works by looking at the gun but confused. By looking at a few static pix, was it more obvious on pictures.... but I did meet this senario:
I have a range friend who could not tell original or reblue by holding guns in his hand, but he told me that he could tell the difference by looking at pictures. That's a internet phenomena.
Since I have wasted lots typing, probably it does not matter to waste a little bit more: No need to find a cutaway. There are only a few moving parts on this thing, pressing lock up and down a few times, you will find how it works and what could be wrong.
Also, no need to load or **** to find trigger or disconector problem. Pull the trigger down, hold it and push back the barrel, you should feel the disconnecting on a healthy gun. Release the barrel, then slowly release the trigger, you should feel the trigger resetting. Not only on broom, Luger is same thing on this type of behavior.
So, try this next time on gun show
