Dunno if this belongs here or in The Smithy, but I took off my M640 sideplate and did not see a safety bar like in the M36.
In fact, can't even see a stud for the bottom hole of the bar to hook to.
Do the DAO's have em? Or did I lose mine?
The purpose of the hammer block is to prevent the firing pin from contacting a primer if the hammer is hit with a crushing blow and some how overrides the stud on the rebound slide or actually bends or breaks.
With no hammer to be hit, there's no need for the hammer block.
