When it goes in the closet, you can leave a round in the snout, and store the mag somewheres else. Gun is safe this way. I learned this from our departed comrade 18DAI.

When somebody is wrestling with you to take your weapon you press the mag release and he cannot shoot you. Without the mag release you still hold the slide tightly so that when he does fire, it only fires one and jams. No, the front sight will NOT slice your hand on the recoil. Total myth. Where do people get such ideas? You must control the muzzle anyway. Weapon retention training is a thing and with the disconnect safety there are certain options. Some use it and some don't. Too big a subject for here.

I have a 6906 that was first used by the Florida Dept of Corrections. It is marked from the factory that it will fire with the mag disconnected.

Kind Regards,
