Dont know about Europe, I first remember seeing them on souped up 1911's back in the early 70's, when that craze took off. That was often a modification you saw on worked over guns.

There was a time that was touted as a "technique", but I think they soon found it tended to loosen your grip, and it fell out of favor.
