Heydrich, I find that if I hold the pistol upside down with the fish hook thingy (coupling link) laying flat and to the rear, with the toggles closed, and slide the cannon to the rear all the way then turn it right side up and slide the cannon forward I can see when the coupling link drops into place into the recoil spring lever, then push the cannon to the rear again and lock the trigger plate into position. You might hear a 'click or snap' occasionnaly but not to worry.
