Radom MAG 95

The MAG 95 is a Polish 9mm Luger semi-automatic pistol (short recoil operated, locked breech) designed to fire the 9mm Luger cartridge. It was designed by designed by Marian Gryszkiewicz and manufactured by Łucznik Arms Factory (Fabryka Broni Łucznik) in Radom for the Polish Border Guard and Prison Guard from 1995 to 2000. The MAG-95 pistol relies to a large extent on design features from the later Browning designs, and others, combining features from several weapons into one pistol. The locking system is the widely used dropping barrel and cam action of the Browning series. This is combined with a double-action trigger mechanism combined with a hammer decocking lever which allows the external hammer to be lowered in safety when a round is chambered. Only a positive 50 N pull on the trigger will allow the hammer to recock for firing the round. In 1995 the pistol was evaluated by the Polish Army. It had advantages over a competitor, the WIST-94, such as better reliability, durability and safety (better protection against accidental discharge, when dropped). However, the MAG model was rejected by the Army, because it did not meet technical specifications, that were set in late 1993, exceeding mass (800g) and dimensional criteria (190x135x33 mm).
