I came across this blog post... I though it was really good

http://booksbikesboomsticks.blogspot.co ... 1930s.html

Highlights are below

From the 1980's

From the 1930's
The sumi also used them too, called casket magazines
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suomi_KP/-31


I had always assumed glocks trigger safety was the first of it's kind.... nope!

from the 1930's

The DR article linked in the links says it was talked about but has since become vapor ware (at least for the moment)
