Toggle Won't Lock in the Back Position

New to the forum so maybe this has been asked before and I am unaware of the answer.
The 7.65 Luger I have has been passed down through the family. I have never fired it and I don't know the last time it had been fired. I am anxious to take it to the range and put a few rounds through it.

I have noticed that the toggle will not stay in the back locked position when I manually pull it back with no rounds in it. I don't know if I am not pulling back hard enough (it is pretty stiff) or is something is wrong.

Is it okay to fire the weapon?
