Magazine disconnects

[Ledbetter]

Lawyers

Lawyers probably made them install them so the negligent do not make the error of removing the mag and thinking they've unloaded the weapon.

It's for stupid people. Some firms no longer design weapons for smart people because of the abundance of dunces. It's been getting like this for too long because of idiotic legal decisions.

Im not going to argue my point as it really doesnt matter!I would just like to point out that some of these responses are imature and stupid.I did enjoy reading the views of those who had a straight forward and insightfull opinion.

I would not own a weapon with a magazine disconnect. To me, they are dangerous! I don't want my weapon put out of commission completely if I drop the mag or it malfunctions. I want the ability to at least have a single shot.

Hey Jeff, are all your connectors connected?

 

[gbelleh]

I don't like them. Only one of my pistols has a mag disconnect (Bersa .380). I would realy like to disable it.

If a BG was trying to get your gun it seems to me it would be difficult and unnatural to try to release the magazine...

 

[Blackhawk]

No, and if one ever showed up on one, it would be removed.

My carry gun is a glock. I chose this weapon for its simplicity and the fact that this is as few things that can go wrong as you can get in a semi-auto. Mag safeties are just one more way Murphy can work his way into the picture. Not a bad concept on a competition gun or other range weapon. However, when TSHF I want the gun to go BANG, without having to worry about anything but pulling the trigger.

NO! Ughh. Cannot stand the things.

Some people have been saying that in the event of a struggle, they could disable their own gun etc. What about the reverse? What if the bad guy hits the MDS on your gun and then you are left with no weapon?

I vote no, I like to keep things simple and a MDS is not simple.

BTW, instead of trying to press the mag release while in a struggle for your gun, why don't you try to get your gun back?

I had to go check, but yes my connectors are connected and disconnectors are disconnected. I sure wouldn't want my disconnectors connected and my connectors disconnected. That could really get me in trouble.
