Default Mauser Parabellum Grips & Grip Saftey

Hi:

Amen to these comments!

They took an almost perfect design (yes the right grip usually works lose on an original Luger if not properly oiled and cared for) and butchered it!

I agree that the grip saftey is also a nightmare! Perhaps a longer one, like the Swiss original, wouldn't make you constantly and uncomfortablly grip the frame so tightly and unnaturally.

Again, these 1970s Parabellums failed commercially. Perhaps they should have spent the few more dollars necessary to fabricate a more original Luger rather than take a 1929 Swiss and cheapen it.
