I'm having an issue getting any pressure and I think it's my quick disconnect. It's just a straight hole. Is it supposed to look like that? I think it's missing something.

Area UNDER ball bearings is not clear. Is the required o-ring there (should be under ball bearings) ? It LOOKS normal other than that. Explain the problem you're having more precisely. Is air not flowing, is it leaking, etc. Is the one way fill valve on your gun working correctly? The more precise & pertinent info you provide the more pertinent answers you'll get.

Both o rings are in the bore. The air just blows straight through when not connected to anything. I thought these things were supposed to totally seal when not connected to a fitting.

No, an integrated check valve is not a common feature of female couplings (source) the way they are for the male end (destination).
Insert a “deadhead” plug if you want to seal it.

Solution Ah, ok thanks for clearing up my misconception on how these work differently than the ones on my air compressor. I was trying to pressurize the hose to check all fittings for leaks. I'll look for one of those plugs.

No, they're not with the female fitting. You STILL haven't explained what the problem is. Bore should have nothing to do with it. Are you not able to fill your gun's air reservoir? The bore has nothing to do with that process unless air is blowing through your barrel (bore).

Let me spell it out. I have a hose or fitting leak. I tried to track it down by pressurizing the hose so I could submerge it and look for bubbles. Being my first pcp, I assumed that the quick disconnects worked like all of my bigger airtools and would seal when disconnected. That way I could pressurize the hose and look for leaks at the fittings. Now that I've been advised to the design, and directed to the fitting I need, this forum and members have been very helpful. Hopefully that makes sense.
