Abstract

Magazine safety units for use in a self-loading firearm with a removable magazine are disclosed. An example safety unit includes a swiveling lever which is held by a spring in the movement path of a bar which is connected with a trigger. The lever engages the bar in an impeding manner. Engagement of the lever with a part of the magazine swivels the lever out of engagement with the bar.
