I have a post war produced HSc that I bought new from the Rod & Gun Club in Bamberg Germany about 1979 it came with 2 magazines. One magazine had a finger extension and had a flat base plate. It also came with two barrels, one in 32 and the other in 380. The first HSc I ever saw was at a sporting goods store in Oceanside California in 1968 it was a Marine bring back from Vietnam. Mine was for several years my EDC. What caliber I carried was determined by which caliber I could find. At that time, late 1980s to mid 1990s I only carried Winchester Silver Tips. I replaced it with a Taurus 85CH and then replaced that with a S&W 442. I still have all three guns and the 442 is still my primary EDC. To date I have never had a jam with my HSc iknow others have had a different experience.
Just bought one yesterday and took it to the range today. Superb little pistol! Mine is reblued (which is why I got it cheap), but it shoots great and looks great. I had a little problem with the takedown because the takedown tab was frozen, but after I got it loosened up, it works like a dream. Now if I could only find a source of .32 acp ammo!
The American Eagle HSC was produced in 1976-77 in 32 and 380 Auto. They were numbered 1 of 5000 with an American eagle on the slide and your number of 5000. They also came in a commerative box. The bulk of them was in 380. They were the last of the HSC from Mauser.
In the 1960s the Japanese toymakers produced a zillion toy guns based on the Mauser HSc. The toy pistols shot tiny clay pellets coated in silver paint using a spring action. A reservoir at the top held the pellets. The pellets traveled about twenty five feet at low speed and were not dangerous. My parents purchased one for me. I got another at a birthday party as a party favor. Why did the Japanese select the Mauser HSc pistol? Probably because the design looked rad and a touch futuristic. Certainly even in the 60s the Mauser HSc looks modern and cool.
If you guys ever get an HK4 (caliber conversion gun) in the future. You should also compare the HSC to the HK4 because of the history between Alex seidel on both guns and how HK was born
I have an HSC. It's cool. The trigger has a long pull. The back part has a sharp edge that digs in the thumb joint. I got it because it was used in the new Resident Evil video game.
I have an early model HSC that has a decocker with the safety lever. This was later dropped in later productions after Mauser was sued by Walther. Although the decocker operated a bit differently than Walther, it was similar enough that Mauser had to discontinue it in later models.

Before the internet and wundernines and polymer combat tupperware, the guns to hav for edc personal defense concealed licnse carry were S&W J frames, Colt D frames, Walther PP PPk PPKs, and Mauser HSC.
Just wondering if anybody else had this problem. I inherited this Mauser and was not real familiar with it especially the slide action. I had removed the magazine and it was empty but the slide would not slide back I tried everything safety on safety off magazine and magazine off trigger pulled trigger slowly released for fear of a live round and chamber. Finally I went outside pointed to the ground and fired a live round that was indeed in the chamber. Why was I having no luck pulling the slide back to eject that last round? Appreciate any comments.
Was it fouled? With mine, I’ve had issues of rounds getting stuck in the chamber when the pistol starts getting a little dirty. Yet, firing it, despite any case expansion, the extractor will pull it clear.
Hmmm, 1914 striker fired pistol abandoned for a hammer fired design. Funny how things go around in circles. Great vid. Thanks
Really enjoyed this video and learned a lot. I have a model 1914 that gets out to the range on occasion.

( one ) of my favorite german ww2 handguns. Hands down
I have a nickle plated import , it is a beatiful gun , It seems to jam a lot mine is in .380 and at a gunsmiths right now do to a broken firing pin.
My experience is they were jamomatics, especially the postwar 380s.
I have a 1942 dated serial gun. Commercial production, bought by the soldier
The clip on the hsc is difficult to load. Cleaning and lubricant application didn’t help. Where can I purchase a replacement clip?

Dang those things are in mint condition
The HSc is a great shooter in .32 ACP. They are a much better gun than the HK4.
The HSc looks very similar to the Walther PP. Is there any actual connection between the two guns, other than looks?
None at all.
Need 2 spare magazines for concealed carry shoulder holster. Who has them ?
I have an Interarms model HSc .380 stainless mint condition made in 1970..can’t complain about it anywhere…
I'm looking for a charger for that gun.
Ada wong anyone?
I have an HSC because of RE. I collect guns from the series. I've been on the hunt for a Brigadier slide for 2-3 years.
@@kevinsuggs1 awesome. Gotta get ya a Matilda.
@@H.R.6688 Oh I have a Matilda. I just don't have it properly engraved.
@@kevinsuggs1 hell yeah.
🙂👍☕
👍🏻👍🏻🇺🇸🇺🇸☕️☕️
The grip on the HSc is weird, I never met anyone who liked it, but I'm sure there is someone out there in Internet Land who does.
I do
I have two HSc's. The grip is fine.
