The various range and social occasion scenarios above are all well and good, but suppose I am carrying the nickle plated abomination with rabbits in mind. I'd probably have an open topped holster. I'm also likely to be carrying a shotgun. I see a lot of rabbits while pheasant hunting and the 12 gauge always makes a mess of the rabbits. But it would be difficult to rack a Luger while holding a loaded shotgun in the other hand. So the Luger would be carried cocked and locked or else it's back to a revolver.
