Some mechanical nerdery for you: magazine safeties / disconnects sound good on paper, but in my view are dangerous and counterproductive, so should not be a thing. But they are. So here we are.
The Browning Hi Power GP35 has possibly the worst magazine safety ever devised, and this vid explains why, with reference to two other systems (SIG P210 P49 and FN 1910) which aren’t so terrible.

FN hipower
9mm
Switzerland’s most popular native-English-language guns & shooting channel! Probably. Maybe. I guess. A somewhat off-the-wall and tongue-in-cheek look at firearms, military history and shooting, and a jolly good tilt at the windmills of fuddlore to go with it. And the odd off-topic vid about Switzerland, or whatever happens to take our fancy. We normally launch “in-series” vids on a Friday (early launch on a Wednesday via Patreon and the FB page https://www.facebook.com/Blokeontherange/ ), out-of-series vids launch precisely… whenever.
