As mentioned, the Luger might have been carried, but it was really too big and heavy to carry under street clothes. The Luger holster is designed to be worn on the outside of the clothing and held up by a wide, strong belt.
Uniformed police carried Lugers, whereas criminal investigative officers liked carring the smaller automatics. Much more comfortable.
