But if I let it go freely , it closes fully. Don't know if the last thing helped .
Thank

Sounds to be within the "range" of spring tension in lugers, some are quite "strong", others noticeably weaker.
It is designed to charge and "arrest/KOK" (evidently big brother does not allow the word for rooster to be written!)the striker if you just let go of the toggle and allow it to close under its spring tension; if it won't then there may be a problem. Sounds like your pistol will close under its own power.
Of course there may be a problem, this is not meant to be a "go ahead" as there are just too many potential factors involved with safe firing.
