People have shot themselves cleaning a gun with glocks. Smith and Wesson put the sear disconnect lever in there and tell you to push it down in the instructions so you HAVE TO make sure the chamber is clear. While it's possible to take it apart, and doesn't harm the gun, without activating this lever...the intentions were to prevent someone from trying to field strip a loaded gun.
Sorry, but I read this as written: "S&W put the sear disconnect in there to make positively, absolutely sure that no one could fire the weapon while field stripping it. "

Positively and absolutely sure NO ONE COULD fire the weapon means exactly what it says, and it's wrong.

The fact is, anyone CAN fire the weapon while field stripping it, unless it has a mag disconnect. So letting this go uncorrected would be misleading. Just saying....
