Byron, You are probably correct about the increase friction caused by the ejector on your Mauser PO8. There may also be a greater overlap of your firing pin and sear (trigger bar) on this model, which causes the toggle to stop when lowered slowly. This is more an individual pistol characteristic, than one of different manufacturors. I personally would not worry about it, so long as the pistol cocks and the toggle closes fully, when released from its maximum rearward position. Tom H.
