Trouble with my P08...

I tried anything I could with and without the mag, and I already removed the hand grips to check everything (that's how I saw that the spring in the hand was squeezed hard, instead of a natural extended position). I'm not a big connaisseur in a matter of gun: this is the only one I've ever touched. But I disassembled it and put it back together a couple of time in the past, without problem, just to see and understand how the parts interract which each others. And right now, I just can't figure out why it's stuck like that. I must precise that every ammo were shot as single when I tested the firing: not with a full mag, but each time one bullet at the time. The mag may be older than the P08 for what I know (wooden base with markings & repair), so I wasn't sure it was good enough to be fully loaded.

Thanks for the advice: I'll check the "hold open device" as proposed , as soon I can find it... ;-)
