| Do the MkIII pistols have the firing pin block safety? I have heard that MkIII's sold to Israel do not have them like the MKII's. Also, are they import marked? |

General consensus on several collector's sites and wikipedia are that the MKIII introduced the firing pin safety.
I have found a wealth of information here: http://www.hipowersandhandguns.com/DifferenceMkIIandMkIII.htm and main page: http://www.hipowersandhandguns.com/HiPowerComments.html He says:"...Though not commonly seen in the US, some Mk III pistols do not have the internal firing pin safety. However, the odds are that if you see or buy one, it will. " Although the information there is nothing official from Browning or FN, just a collector's site, so user beware. |
