Is such a grip safety modification to a luger fairly common-place ? Easy to do...?<hr /></blockquote>The picture below demonstrates the impracticality of adding a grip safety to a P-08 style frame.

The comparison is a 1908 Commercial and a KOL Dutch (1906 frame). Note that the metal at the bottom of the recoil spring housing which holds the grip safety spring and the axle hole for the grip safety lever is cut away on the 1908 frame. The relief at the top of the grip strap is different, also, but could be modified on the 08 frame.
