Ugluk, right on. Problem is I'm 80 and I'm not the man I once was and never have been. I'm gonna haveta' devise a non-marring tool to hold the toggle back.
Thanks again to both of you.

Good luck with finding the best method for you to solve the problem. I do so hope that I am still shooting my Luger when I am 80 years old!!!

I could not let this go and thought up and discarded all kinds of contraptions to aid you.
Then this came to mind. A loop of rawhide in the belt, and put it around the knurled knobs. Simple is good..
Very little effort required to hold it open with one hand.

Could it work?

That's an innovative solution that I'm sure will solve the issue for Lliam. Good catch!
