Jim,
no, this is no magazine safety. This safety is acting on the trigger bar. While the normal safety is acting only on the trigger, the "Zusatzsicherung" (additional safety) is blocking the trigger bar. This safety was introduced because of some accidents with pistols dropping on the ground and firing, although the safety has been activated.
Good luck for finding a Luger with a Walther safety still in place! Rare birds.
Regards
Martin
