After taking the grips off and inserting (6) different magazines, it was obvious that the slot was cut into the frame due to magazine fit-up. only (2) of my magazines fit good without any rubbing on the frame. The other (4) fit really tight and to get the magazine out of the gun I had to pull on the bottom of the magazine.

Upon further inspection of the interior of the grip portion of the frame, you can tell someone at some point in time had been doing some grinding on the inside of the grip. The magazines that fit really tight also showed that it was rubbing gainst the frame about halfway up the grip. And looking at the frame where it rubs it looks like it has a very slight bend in it causing it to rub.

Its obvious someone has done some repair work on the grip portion of the frame. Which this gun has been through arsenals sometime back in the 30's. So who knows what this luger has been through back then. If it could only talk.
