Luger grip safety profiles and sizes?

Jasta2 · 12-07-2009, 08:08 PM

Most photos of Lugers with grip safeties I found only show the side view of the Luger as a whole. My 1900 AE grip safety looks to come about 2/3 thirds across the back strap. I have notices others the full width of the back starp. Is there a standard for this? Or do the just vari to the model of Luger? I notice the 'Swiss' had a rather long grip strap. From what I gather almost all 1900-1906 Models had a grip safety. After that was it mostly various commercial that had a grip safety? I take the military requested the grip safety removed to be accepted. I take one exception was the 1934/06 dated Mauser that had a grip safety, again for commerical sales.
Any rear pictures of grip safeties?
Thanks,Bill
