I want to thank KBM6893 for that informnation. i never gave the mag disconnect a second thaught untill my recent purchase of a 908 s&w. its the first gun i have ever owned that had a mag disconnect. i hated it, i thought it was the dumbest thing ever, i wanted to figure a way around it. but after reading KBM6893s assesment of the whole thing i have done a compleat 180! that was the best argument for a mag disconnect i could consider. i now wish all my pistols had one. thank you for that honest to the point assesment and thank you for your expertise on the subject. this is exactly why i joined this forum. thank you again, BB
