Changes from the Mark III
The most significant feature of the Mk IV redesign is a hinged connection between the upper receiver and the grip frame. This design enables the user to disassemble the firearm with a significantly simplified process compared to prior models.[2]
Other design changes include:
- Redesigned trigger group
- Redesigned bolt stop
- Ambidextrous thumb safety
- A "drop free" magazine release mechanism[2]
