So a few things. If the charging handle is loose there is a flat screw on top of it that you need to tighten down.
Then the question is do you have a Uzi SMG or a semi auto Uzi carbine?
If you have a Uzi SMG it has a ratcheting top cover that holds the charging handle and bolt in place if the bolt isn't fully retracted. This prevents a slip fire as the firing pin is machined into the bolt face. Slip fire sometimes happens with M10 type SMGs where the bolt is released before it is fully locked open and is able to strip a round out of the magazine. But even with a Uzi SMG once the bolt is locked open, the charging handle will move forward, it is non reciprocating.
If you have a Uzi semi auto carbine, there is nothing that should ever hold the charging handle back.
Look at the back of your Uzi and it will be marked Uzi SMG, Uzi Carbine Model A or Uzi Carbine Model B.
It's hard to be a ACLU hating, philosophically Libertarian, socially liberal, fiscally conservative, scientifically grounded, agnostic, porn admiring gun owner who believes in self determination.
