What is the M2HB Applied Safety?

• A. Safety pin
• B. Trigger safety
• C. Nose of the cocking lever
• D. Grip safety

Answer: (C)

The M2HB’s applied safety is built into the cocking lever, with the nose of the cocking lever doing the critical work. When the lever is in its safe/neutral position, the nose engages in a way that blocks the sear from releasing the hammer, so the gun cannot fire even if the trigger is pulled. Only when the cocking lever is correctly positioned does the nose align enough to allow the firing sequence to proceed. This mechanical interlock protects against accidental discharge during handling or maintenance. The other options aren’t part of the M2HB’s safety system, which is why the nose of the cocking lever is the best answer.
