A lot of people with Glock Leg need this system.PASS! You have to remove the firing pin to take the slide off!
I'm wondering more how practical or ergonomic that's going to be. Seems like it would be odd on a pistol.
Based on the pictures in the link it looks like you have to push left to fire. Not the most natural thing to do when drawing and acquiring the sights.I guess it would depend on hand size. The cross bolt safety is right next to the magazine release. So if you can easily (big hands) reach the magazine release without adjusting the grip too much, it should be easy to turn off. I imagine most would turn the safety on by using their trigger finger (on a right handed person). A chief concern would be training to not hit the wrong button when doing rapid fire drills.
Guys,
There's only ONE model that has the crossbolt safety. You can get the pistol without it. Sheesh.
I do however find it sort of comical that Mossberg did the crossbolt safety when they're sort of famous for NOT using a crossbolt safety (and instead using a tang safety) on most of their shotguns, save for the Maverick series.
It looks like a good option to me. I don't prefer safeties on a handgun so I'd probably go without, but I don't mind the crossbolt safety if I had a safety as it's something "unique" and interesting about the gun.

In general though, I've liked the Mossberg shotguns that I've shot, so I have high hopes for this. To my view Mossberg has a history of making cheap design choices but they build them well and they actually work out fine, whereas Remington starts with a good design but then builds it poorly so it doesn't work.
PASS! You have to remove the firing pin to take the slide off! A cross-bolt safety, LOL. Made on the same assembly line as their $200 Maverick shotguns. PASS!

Nothing against Mossberg, the more I hear about this gun the more I think it will be a marketing flop.
I wouldn't pay $100 bucks for it. A very cheap design reminiscent of the old Saturday Night Specials!So, perhaps I’m showing my ignorance here, but could someone explain why removing the striker assembly for disassembly is a bad thing? Pistol breaks down like this. Looks pretty basic to me.

There is little advantage to having a thumb activated safety as opposed to one operated by the thumb...other than tradition.Seems like you'd want to push the safety with your right thumb (if you're right handed) to disengage it. Maybe the ergos aren't what I imagine, and your index finger can easily reach it.
I have no idea about the cost of the design, but frame a safety stand point it makes much more sense than having to pull the trigger to disassemble the gun...which is inherently more dangerousI wouldn't pay $100 bucks for it. A very cheap design reminiscent of the old Saturday Night Specials!
No ignorance at all and it isn't a "bad thing"...just different.perhaps I’m showing my ignorance here, but could someone explain why removing the striker assembly for disassembly is a bad thing?
If you haven't handled both, how can you realistically compare them with any credibility?Not mine but a much better cheap alternative to the hideous Mossberg, Kel-Tec PF-9 3D
Just look at the photo! Also, I have attended the Sig Sauer Armours School in New Hampshire.If you haven't handled both, how can you realistically compare them with any credibility?
Oh horrors, what will they think of next? A pin you have to push through the side of the slide and barrel, that sometimes is very hard to move, and that scratches your thumb if you don't hold it right when firing? Now that would be absolutely a deal breaker.So, perhaps I’m showing my ignorance here, but could someone explain why removing the striker assembly for disassembly is a bad thing?

I know that it's courses are limited to their own products and attending them doesn't confer any particular expertise in other platforms.
Granted I haven't attended their courses, but I did study with the gunsmith who was consulted when the course was put together, continues to teach there, and is part of the design team for current products
You don't have to. I never use the sear depressor doohikey on my Shield either. Just pull the trigger like on every other gun.PASS! You have to remove the firing pin to take the slide off!
