Default Cocking problem...Not sure if its covered in the sticky

First of all I would like to apologize for the noob questions and my lack of knowledge of the technical terms. I promise ill study more before making another post. This is my first Luger and I’m totally lost on the parts. So here is the problem..

So I grab the toggles and pull them back to ***** it and it stays there. Every other Luger I have seen the toggles snap back flat and its ready to fire once cocked. I can push them back by hand and it chambers a round, I pull them back, it spits the round out, then wont snap closed again.

Thank you guys for the help with stuff so far

Bryce, If an empty mag in the pistol, it is susposed to hold open. If this happens with a loaded mag or mag remove, it could be several things: too weak a recoil spring, a mag that is locking up too high or has weak feed lips, a bent receiver allowing too much friction between reciever and breech block, etc. TH

PS: FIRST make sure that your toggle connecting link is properly placed in recoil lever, or you will have no return pressure on the toggle. TH
