Grip Safety

Is there any instance of a Swiss pattern Luger (straight front grip strap) having the grip safety mechanism inside the RIGHT grip panel?

Hi,

Well, eh, no. Since this would mean a complete rethinking of the safety lever construction, which is connected to the grip safety.

The '29 Swiss grip safety wraps around the rear grip strap, so the grips have to be relieved on both sides.
