Nice theory Ben, but you have misinterpreted the working engineering. The zip tie holding the breechblock keeps it from coming completely into battery. The breechblock held back would in-turn keep the toggle from fully closing. The slightly open toggle would restrain the slide from coming fully forward so that its front edge would be behind the front of the frame and not sticking out in front of the frame. Watch the Luger animation on our home page a few times & you might see why the relationship of the moving parts would result in this condition.
