MAB Model D pistol

The MAB model D is a pistol produced by MAB (Manufacture d'armes de Bayonne) from 1933 to 1963 (.32 ACP) and 1982 (.380 ACP); it was inspired by the Belgian Browning FN pistol 1910/22.

It was developed with the smaller "MAB C", also made in .32 and .380 ACP, and with which it has many parts in common.

The MAB D was used by the French Army and military police before and after World War II.

Following World War II, the MAB D was used by the French military in Indochina.

MAB Ds are now only used as surplus pistols for the French police, who primarily used revolvers before 2000.
