Daniel,

Can you show us the magazine bottoms, and closeups of the follower buttons on the other side?

It is correct that the toggle cannot be pulled back when the safety is on, this is an indication that the firing pin is not cocked.

The should only stay open if an empty magazine is inserted in the gun. If it will not stay open with either magazine, empty, inserted; there is a mechanical problem.
