About the Mauser 90DA

The Mauser 90DA is a double-action, short-recoil semi-automatic pistol chambered in 9x19mm Parabellum. Based on the Browning Hi-Power pattern, it was produced for Mauser by FEG of Hungary and marketed in the early 1990s. It differs from the original Hi-Power and its own single-action sibling, the 90SA, by adding a traditional double-action/single-action trigger, an enlarged trigger guard, and a frame-mounted safety/decocking lever. A compact version with a shortened barrel was also offered.

The 90-series was Mauser's licensed take on the classic Browning Hi-Power, with the 90DA standing out as a rare double-action interpretation of John Browning's famous single-action design.
