I really enjoyed my time with the Mauser HSC. again my only detractors for EDC would be of course the mag release and the safety location. the mag release, due to the fact that mag changes are much slower. The safety for an inability to operate it efficiently left handed.
A short snippet of Mauser History:
Mauser started in 1811 by Friedrich I of Wurttemberg who established a royal weapons factory in Oberndorf Germany. In 1867 Wilhelm and Paul Mauser created the rotating bolt system for breech loader that was easier to operate than the current types. It didn’t take very long for the advantages of the firearm to come about. In 1871 the most recent version of the design became the standard German infantry rifle, known as the Gewehr 71.
In 1896 Mauser also decided to create pistols, producing the design of another team of brothers, Fidel, Friedrich, and Josef Feederle. The Mauser C96 broomhandle. This design quite impractical due to the magazine forward of the trigger guard. Making it front heavy that many came with a stock to keep it under control. Over a million C96’s were produced between 1896 and 1936 when production ceased.
Sig bought Mauser in 1999
