the Russian weaponry had ever been regarded as one of the most innovative , vibrant & practical industry in the ranks of its contemporaries . their weapons are simple,less finished, less attractive in appearance but rugged & reliable like hell & they just do the work they are made for and shoot , shoot & shoot non stop in the conditions where other weapons succumb to the natural elements or heat of the "game" . one of the russian origin is baikal viking mp 446 pistol . the pistol has 2 features for safety and one of them is mentioned as " half #### arrangement " in the manual supplied with the product. i feel it appropriate to quote the relevant section/ article of the manual for the perusal of nuts
2.3.9.Pistol’s safe handling is ensured with a reliable thumb safety
that blocks the slide and firing mechanism with the hammer cocked or
uncocked. Additionally, the pistol is provided with a half-#### arrangement
which prevents the hammer from striking against the firing pin if you drop
your pistol or your thumb slips from the hammer on cocking.
now, though i also own a baikal viking mp 446 steel version model 2010 but didnt have the chance to practically try/explore the feature besides there is some contradiction in the interpretation of the relevant clause of the manual, when i telephonically discussed it with some of friends or even on the availability of the feature in the pistol. in this condition i request the seniors to look in to the text of manual and guide us in this regard ................................... regards

i think differently, in my opinion viking has a firing pin safety as the manual refers to accidental slip of thumb from hammer, and if u see ur pistol, as u also have one , u would see that if u neutralize the hammer manually , after the pistol being cocked, there would b a very thin gap between the hammer striking point and hammer itself................. and i think it to be the firing pin safety mechanism . and , i think it is the same firing pin safety that is refereed to, as half #### arrangement in users manual........... the reason behind such contrast is the faulty translation from russain to english , which has wrongly named "firing pin safety" as " half #### arrangement".................................. what do u think dimon

You could be right, dewdrop. I'm not 100% on tech details, but you are right, there's possible translation error. I've had Para Limited equiped with firing pin block, so that thing was de-activated by trigger pull with a little lever... I have to take a closer look at my Viking when I get back home. To me it looked like its a type of the trigger mech design, than actual firing pin block though...Will check.
Ok, when you pull the trigger hammer drops to make 90 degrees angle with frame and strikes the firing pin.
Hold the trigger pulled and push the hammer forward it will go...release the trigger and then remove your thumb hammer will go back and clicks slightly cocked
When you don't pull the trigger hammer doesn't go all the way forward and prevents contact with firing pin. try to disassemble the gun and push the hammer forward as on my picture. it would not go. This is what they translated as a half #### safety

pics not visible tea pot. i see a toad caged in an ice cube. plz plz upload through a service which allow them to display without any fuss as all the nutz around could be benefited
I will re-post them...In the meantime take your gun PROVE it and pull and hold the trigger. with trigger in the rear position push the hammer with your thumb forward and hold it. release the trigger then remove your thumb from the hummer. the hammer will travel back a little and clicks slightly cocked. Now it's a half-cocked safety

Pics look fine to me. Explain pretty good what you're saying.
seen , thanks , there is a box lying besides u in pics bearing words " canada version". does viking mp 446 is produced in country wise versions or baikal has a unified production system making pistols of same standard world over ?................. besides plz tell that the frame of steel version 2010- is really made of steel or or it is made some kind of alloy or aluminium
wud u plz tell me some thing about myth of 90 degree angle chamber . it is said that the chamber of baikal mp446 viking is the very same chamber as hold by yarigin pya & viking does not have a 90 degree chamber, and it is also described in vinzer sports u tube footage that viking has a military grade chamber, where as, in my opinion, the chamber of yarigin pya is not 90 degree chamber, so far as i have observed in the stills/ pics of yarigin pya available in the link given in the second post of thread. in those pics the chamber of yarigin pya does not appear to resembling with the chamber of viking mp 446???????????????
