I'm looking at getting my first FS semi-auto, and I'm curious as to why I keep seeing in reviews for different guns: "I love that it doesn't have a magazine disconnect" or "I like it except for the disconnect," etc. So, my question is: why is this such a bad thing? From what I understand about disconnects, they will not let the weapon fire without a mag in the mag well. Why is this a problem? I can understand why some people prefer not to have a slide-mounted safety (I bring up the safety issue because most reviews I've read/watched conflate the two issues and make them sound equally bad). I can see things from their point of view about the safety. I get it. But, I really don't understand the disconnect issue. The only scenario that I can think of that could be a problem would be during a SD altercation during which the magazine is ejected from the weapon. I don't know. Maybe that's just my lack of experience/imagination.
