I agree. One needn't even grasp the toggle knobs, but instead give them a bump backwards with the heel of the weak hand to relieve the pressure the holdopen allowing it to drop and the action to subsequently snap into battery.

I also use an empty mag to lock the action open for disassembly. It seems less haphazard compared to shoving the muzzle against something. We'll leave that for those whose Luger shooters don't have a holdopen!
