This pistol, M5, had a very short history and life span. It was technically adopted as a Substitute Standard for infantry ground use replacing the Remington Mark-III and a substitute for the M3 and M4 ground projectors. A limited procurement was executed in in December 1941, production stopped in September 1942. Only 5,260 M5 pistols were manufactured. Additionally, it was directly based of the H&R Mark-III A. Its close similarities are obvious.
