Does anyone like a magazine disconnect on a semi-auto firearm?
I despise them.

I've heard of coppers who have forgotten pistols at the jail and had to drive back, or, in an extreme case, had to borrow a weapon from another officer in an emergency.
Had two on my Star 9mm autos, easily removed. Didn't understand having them on a non duty weapon (like the Smiths), and especially on a military weapon. A possible advantage for the open topped Beretta 92 was the ease of single loading rounds if one found oneself with ammo and without a functioning magazine.

I would be very careful on which YouTube and who's YouTube video you watch and believe. There are an awful lot of self proclaimed experts (idiots) on YouTube.
