Mauser, the oldest name in
semi-automatic pistols, is proud to introduce a pistol that redefines the art
of handgun design - the Mauser M2 - THE pistol for the 21st Century.
The M2 by Mauser could arguably
be called "the safest handgun on the market today". Several
safety features are integrated into the M2's design. The
pistol features a loaded chamber indicator on top of the slide, which provides
a visual indication that a round is present in the firing chamber. The
pistol's magazine disconnect is designed to prevent the pistol from being fired
with the magazine removed from the pistol, even if a live round remains in the
chamber. The pistol is equipped with an automatic firing pin safety that
will not release the firing pin unless the trigger has been pulled. A
disconnector prevents out of battery firing. The double-action only fire
control system (in conjunction with the striker firing system) holds the
striker at half cock which will not fire the cartridge should it be accidentally
released. The optional manual external safety, located on the back of the
slide, allows the owner to quickly observe if the handgun in is the safe mode
while in the holster and can be quickly operated with the shooting hand.
Mauser M2 pistols are modern semi-automatic
handguns complying with the latest technical advances in firearms design. They operate on the principle of
mechanically half-cocked recoil loading with semiautomatic reloading. The manual safety catch, magazine catch and
automatic firing pin ensure safe carrying of the pistol. After every shot the firing pin is
automatically half-cocked and completely safe.
The distinctive contrast sights in conjunction with the ergonomically
favorable grip design permits rapid, precision target acquisition and
firing. The enclosed design prevents
the penetration of dirt inside the firearm.
