Tac, some folks simply pull back on the toggles with an empty magazine inserted to let the hold open lock them back, which in turn, as you know, lets the take-down lever free. I suspect this may be some sort of 'primary' way he was thinking of doing it, but the pistol having no hold open forced him to do the 'push down the barrel trick'. Nothing wrong with doing it this way, by the way, kpolak. I believe that way is actually the 'standard' practice, as some lugers dont have hold opens from factory?
