Yes, and the degree of "fatness" changed as production proceeded. It really is an insult to someone who knows what a "real Luger" feels like to hold one of these "things". The folks producing these pistols must have never held or shot an original.

Between those fat grips and that silly grip safty, the original feel is almost completely lost.

Perhaps this is one reason that the 70's production eventually failed.
