Does the toggle stay back when there is an empty magazine in the gun? The toggle hold-open is magazine actuated. It will not work on its own.
If the hold-open will not work on an empty mag, then you probably have a weak hold-open spring or a chipped or damaged hold-open device. |

It is attached to the forward part of the hold open.

Hi Ronnie, Welcome to the forum! As the others have mentioned, a defective hold-open is one possibility, another is a defective magazine. Regards, Norm

Is that looking down in the chamber?? And also, the toggle is very hard to pull back. My hands are sore.

Hi Ronnie, Me again. It looks like a nice gun, but the front sight blade is not original. Regards, Norm
