Model 51 safety

Post by dieNusse1 »

Just acquired a 51 in 380. I'm impressed by the safety feature that prevents the gun firing if the magazine is not installed. I assume this prevents accidental firing of "empty" guns when a forgotten shell was still in the chamber after the magazine had been removed. The question I have is whether this feature is found on other semi-autos.

Magazine safeties are quite common. I have French pistols with it. Hi-Powers also have magazine safeties.
