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.
The single-action MAB Model D had two major variants, Type 1 and Type 2. The Type 1 featured an external latch release for the barrel bushing whereas with the Type 2, you simply pushed and turned the bushing for disassembly.

1 sty 2020 · The MAB pistols have a fairly simple design and disassembly of them is a fairly straightforward operation. No doubt there will be some differences between the models, but for the most part, the pistol will be disassembled similarly. If you have a Model D, Type II in front of you, begin by removing the magazine, making sure it is not loaded.
5 sty 2020 · I had the opportunity to inspect and repair a MAB Model D, Type II semi-automatic pistol that was not functioning. The customer told me he had searched for a new mainspring as the one in his pistol was broken, without any luck in finding an original or newly-manufactured replacement.
The early version of the model D (Type 1) had a different style barrel bushing with a latch on the bottom of the slide (like the Type 1 Model C). The latch was eliminated for the Model D on 11 June 1945. The Model D was MAB’s most successful pistol until the advent of the PA-15 in 1966.
