Anyone got any info on this?

It won't hurt the gun at all. I think the reason why Smith added the disconnect was to prevent accidental discharges with pistos with their name on it. Using the sear disconnect lever forces the user to open/lock back the slide therefore ensuring that the chamber is cleared. Its no secret that many accidental discharges happen with Glocks.
