Herb,
Regarding what we can accurately call a "loose cannon," I can't help imagining how one might be used, say in a movie or some other fictional situation. The Luger cannon is extremely slim and could be hidden in all kinds of places. It's only a single-shot and dangerous as hell, but easy to load and potentially useful if you are desperate or deranged.
My hero/villain would load the cannon, wrap the toggle with duct tape to secure it (and form a makeshift grip), leaving a gap where his thumb could press the sear bar. Then up the sleeve it goes...
