Yes, your mainspring could be weak?

No offense intended, but you shouldn't shoot a gun until you know how to take it apart and clean it.

You need to do a full takedown of the upper (takes 2 minutes). Once the barrel & extension is off the frame, gently work the toggle open/close to see if you can tell if and where it is binding. Push out the rear toggle axle pin (the big one) and slide the toggle off the barrel extension. Turn the toggle over and look at the bottom. There is a retaining pin that should hold the middle toggle pin in place. If this pin is broken, the middle pin can slide over bind up the toggle when closing. I know because I had one break on me.

Or you can just send the gun to Tom Heller - he will fix it up quick.
