yes to your questions / the mag safety did not work as they wanted, so most (almost all) were taken off or disabled.
The advantage to a police luger is that you can find a WW1 or earlier one that went into Weimar Police service (unit marking on it), then had a sear safety (pre-WW2) and perhaps find one with a matching aluminum magazine that was nazi proofed.
