Default The piece that comes up when the safety lever

is applied is the safety bar. The sear safety is a different device intended to keep lesser intelligent police officers from shooting themselves during the cleaning process because a loaded chamber can be fired with the upper and lower receivers separated by pressing on the sear bar... do a site search on "sear safety" and you will find several threads on this device including some with illustrations of where it is located and how they work...


There is also a magazine safety device that was fitted at times to police Lugers... you can also find threads on this discussion board that will show you what they look like and how they functioned...
